AND hope they don't break the lid, strap, hinges, handle, or lose a drain plug

well over 100 but never kept count. I preach to my son to keep a log with brief statement.

I used to hunt with some rabbit hunters.........I kept buckshot in my gun and rabbit shot in my pocket.

37 years old and I have killed 71. All but three were killed in Louisiana.

Started hunting by myself in 96'. I have killed right at 50 (plus or minus 1 or 2). Some years were better than others. I have 4 bucks on the wall and have shot a few spikes that were mistaken for does through the years. 7/50 were bucks, the rest does(and 3 button bucks....whoops). I haven't killed a deer this year which is depressing.

Right around 30.


For 5 years I averaged 45 days/season hunting ducks. Only killed one during that time.

Hopefully I'll bump that by one in a minute.

25ish. I've gotten a lot more selective in the last few years. Probably more selective than my abilities actually allow.

I have a buck knife that I got when I was 15. Every deer I have killed after that has a mark scratched in the handle. It has 31 marks. I just counted. I believe I killed 5 prior to having knife. And I killed 5 in the last three when the knife was sitting in drawer. So, either 36 or 41...I don't remember if my teenage self gave me backcredit and started the markings early. Lets go with 36, I prob wanted all the credit I could get.

I'm 43 and I can't honestly remember. Sometimes when I am on the stand I try to recall each deer I have killed, but I know it has to be north of 50, but I wouldn't think it would be over 100.
