I am thinking close to 20, 9 bucks(2 rifle, 7archery) and probably 8-9 does(1rifle the rest archery).

Short answer....not enough. :chuckle:  I can hardly wait for next year. :tup:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Maybe I'm the only anal one here, but I've kept a note book with the records of every big and small game animal I've killed since I was 15yrs. When I moved here in 1984 I even kept record of of ever bird I shot, wounded and days hunted. Kept a record of the big game animals I killed with each rifle I've owned. Wish I kept a record on the bullets I used on them also , but I didn't. I can remember most of those I used and can't remember ever having a complete bullet failure and I used a lot of different bullets being a hand loader.

15, 2 Mulies and 13 Blacktail. I've let alot of small bucks walk, and then not had a shot at anything the rest of the season. Oh, and I've missed a few.Okay, more than a few!!!!

Isn't it crazy how you remember the missed oppertunities!  I can vividly recall nearly all my misses; with rifle, ML, and bow.  I can recall the times my ML failed to shoot, and even blown stalks.  I honestly remember most of these situations right down to the smallest detail and probably as much or more than my successes.  I'm glad I remember, though, because it keeps me hungry and has made me a better hunter!

Another 0 here.  Put a buddy on his last year.  now he's hooked, he went out and got his big 3x3 in his first hour of hunting.  Pretty darn exciting.  And now I'm sure I'll have a hunting partner for life!  :chuckle:

Oh goodness!  I stopped counting years ago.  Had taken only a couple before I started bowhunting in '80.  Since then I think two or three more with the rifle.  Probably somewhere between 60 and 70 with the bow since '82.  Probably average just over one per year since marriage.  Prior to marriage if there was a season open I was hunting!  I was one of those few that preferred deer hunting over elk hunting.  I prefer deer meat to elk meat too!  But, I've always been the odd man out. 

Don't get me wrong.  I still harvest my fair share of elk 28 w/bow (5 cows) plus another 3 bulls w/rifle.

So probably between 65 & 75. Can add another 10 if I put exotics on the list - love eating axis and sika.  Only a half dozen P&Y.  Missed my fair share of those though :bash:

OR, WA, ID, AZ, TX, WV, SC, PA, BC, ALB, AK & SAS if memory serves me right.

Started hunting when I was 8 and have harvested a deer all but 2 or 3 years.  Add in a few years that I have killed more than one (out of state or second deer tag) and I would say I have harvested approx 30 deer.

Especially if he's from somewhere like Alabama.  They used to be able to shoot a deer a day during a 90 day season. :yike:
