How many bucks?

[mtmiller]

I was just thinking how lucky I am to be able to hunt multiple states for deer and started counting a few bucks I have pictures of on my wall. Since 2001, when I first was able to hunt multiple states, through 2010, I have been blessed to harvest 23 bucks. 2009 was a single buck year, but the rest were pretty good. LIFE IS GOOD. (I didn't count 2011 since it was a single buck year as well.

Headed to SD in a couple days with a couple more buck tags in my pocket. Might not fill both, but I will be spending lots of quality time in the field.

Time to go deer hunting....again.

Alright, enough of the self-righteous.

Awesome stats! I'm just hoping for one this year, but a BIG one

I've bow killed 6 bucks since I started hunting in 1989. We've had a 4 point per side antler restriction since 2002, and I haven't killed a buck since. I just started gun hunting in 2010.

I've bowhunted white-tail in Ohio, WV, Illinois, and Arizona. Bow hunted mule deer in Utah, Colorado, and Arizona. Most of those with traditional equipment. No kills, but many nights under the stars.

I did kill an antelope buck in Wyoming this year. If that counts.

I have never never killed an elk with bone on the mellon. I need to learn that one of these days. Good luck on your buck.

Jealous of your experiences. I have only taken one archery buck since I have been in MT. I hope to be lucky enough to hunt of a few of the states you mention.

Two weeks of hunting feathers....I can't wait to get back out and chase some deer.

Good luck all.

I will be hunting east of Sturgis and also have a Hills tag. Grew up in that country and always fun to get back and chase critters.

Good luck to you as well.

Ducks for elk....sweet.

Ducks for elk....sweet.

I'm up for that trade.... as the name say's......

on the main topic of this thread, I personally have been hunting with a bow since 1998 and started in eastern Montana, out by Froid if anyone knows where that's at, I got too thinking also and in my young hunting career "28", i've taken 15 antelope, 9 deer, 1 elk, and countless upland birds.... I think out of all those only about 3 antelope and 2 deer were taken with a rifle, the rest were bow kills... plan on extending some of my hunting too other state's if my beautiful wife of 8 years today will let me....
