Poll on deer hunting activity

[BSK]

The results show what I expected to see:

1) TNdeer readers/posters are more serious deer hunters than the general hunting public (the highest response is 21-40 days hunting, while the random surveys usually show the average deer hunter in TN hunts 12-14 days).

2) More serious deer hunters want a 2 or 3 buck limit, with 2 being preferable over 3.

With 61% of TNdeer responders saying they target specific age deer, I wonder what the number would be for a purely random survey of all deer hunters in TN? I have no idea what the answer would be, but I bet it wouldn't be anywhere near 61%.

I'll bet it would be in the 30's or even below.

Yep. Less than 200 out of over 200,000. Is that a landslide or what? :grin:

Yes, the majority of the board has spoken...

1) 6-10 days scouting....hmmmm not much time scouting for a specific deer

2) 21-40 days hunting.... Must be very good at scouting, killed their limit

3) yes... Wow! See 1 & 2

4) doesn't matter

5) after reading 1 & 2 no wonder the
Majority wants to kill 2 bucks, they are so good at scouting they can kill 3 bucks in 21-40 days in the specific age group they are looking for.

Sure as hell wish I was that good at hunting and had that kind of hunting ground, cause where I hunt, I'm luck to see 20 deer a year.

It is cool to see the numbers and the bar graphs. I wish I could hunt over fifty days per year again. College has got me in the 20 day bracket.

 

[Bowdacious]

I had a hard time figuring up just how many days I do hunt. It varies with what time I get off work.

You need to find a better place to hunt.
