On average how many.

[Nightwing]

On average how many Deer do you take each year? Thought this would be kinda interesting.

[jonsimoneau]

Just enough for myself and my wife to eat. I used to kill many more while in college. I had more time to hunt and more people that would eat the meat. But these days 2 is great and 3 is plenty.

I'll let you know after I get my first deer ever!  

[rraming]

.25

[medic77]

2 or 3.  Usually 2 is the norm

[Marshallrobinson]

It has been directly related to where I have lived.
Maine = 1 every two years. NY = 7 (legally)each year and Ohio has been 2 each year

One of the best laughs I have had today!.

Best of luck to you this season!    :D

4-5 for my family of four. I try to fill those tags as quickly as possible when the season starts. Then I become a little more picky when the rut starts to kick in.

[CoachBGriff]

1 to 2

[Wannabe1]

Thanks Marshall, gonna give it my best shot that's for sure!

Not near as many as I did in my younger days... Now hogs, that's a different story.

1 or 2 depending if someone asks me for deer meat or not.

Usually 1

[KyStickbow]

I usually try to put 4 a year in the freezer....thats for a family of five.

[Stumpkiller]

This will be my 34th year hunting and I have taken 41 deer in that time.  1-1/4 deer per year.

Lately one is enough for THE ADMIRAL and I - especially supplemented with the occasional spring lamb and our culled roosters.  I only pull out the flintlock if I didn't have a bow shot present itself.  If I do score with the bow I switch over to grouse hunting.  ;-)

This is depressing. I want to live in a state that I can hunt deer several months a year. Not elk for a few days.

[bruinman]

I used to kill a lot more, but now days two or three and I am a happy camper.

[Huntschool]

One for meat and then its wait out the big guy....

[LB_hntr]

With our family of 4 we eat a ton of venison. hope each year for 5-6 but end up usually around 4-5. That requires me to hunt more than one state to do on just my tags. Now that my kids hunt hopefully we can get 6-8. when i get 5 that lasts us until beginning of summer and we are empty.

[joe ashton]

The past few years I have avenged 2.5 animals. W/t, mule deer &elk.

2-3 as my daughter has a family now and they like deer meat as much as we do. Have to feed the grandsons well so they know what hunting is all about.
