buckee Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 We used to be allowed 3 deer here, but have been cut back to 2 in resent years. There are only 2 of us to feed now and the 2 deer seem to last just fine. I like to have enough to be able to share with others too though. We eat other meat as well, but the deer is always a treat.

Guest bigbuckmiddaugh Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: How Many Deer is a \"Goal\" for your Freezer? i have no goal really. I happy if i just get one. My second buck i try to score on a nice one and let all the little ones go. So, i very seldon get a second deer. I'm starting to pick out doe's and shoot them. I've shot 2 does this year so far. There is one or two more i would like to get. They aren't producing young. If i'm hunting a different piece of land with lots of doe's, i will try to take one off there too. We can buy a 1 doe license a day. I'm very selective on doe's and my second buck, let alone, our second buck has to have 4 or more pts. Thats a job itself,lol.

Washi Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: How Many Deer is a \"Goal\" for your Freezer? About a dozen but that is for me, mom and dad, my sister and her three daughters, and my brother and his new wife. I think we got thirteen last year and we had some left over.

VTbowman Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: How Many Deer is a \"Goal\" for your Freezer? Our yearly state limit is 3 and thats always my goal. However I have stretched just 1 deer one year and had veni by next fall. Just depends on how many I shoot. I am the only one who eats it so I can "save" it if need be. IE: Less jerky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Re: How Many Deer is a \"Goal\" for your Freezer? Between 3 of us we usually put 5 or 6 in the freezer. I believe last year we only had 4 and ran out well before the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gt2003 Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Re: How Many Deer is a \"Goal\" for your Freezer? Three. The whole family likes the jerky, my wife likes the backstrap, jerky and chili (good reason for her to buy me hunting stuff) and I like it all including the hot links. Between the 5 of us and giving some away, 3 deer is a good goal. So, 1 down and 2 more to go this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran out of meat last year with four boys with my three shot with bow....I have two down with bow, and two gun tags to fill next weekend....so, I guess 4-5 would be good to save on groceries, but I am estatic I have taken 2 so far this season........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
