Ok with only 10 polling options, I broke the categories down to account for those that did not fill a tag, and also to count those that shot bucks & "antlerless" together as one person. I had to drop the button buck category, just not enough options...

Why anonymous?
Because those that shoot what some might consider "more than their fair share" would not post if their names were revealed, and some would post for "bragging" rights... There is no need to put names to it. Just trying to get some general stats...

Also one of the things many of us bitch about is that NJ lets one legally take 6 bucks. Carole Stanko told me a year ago, that the stats don't bear out where anybody is shooting more than 2 a year, yes there are a few, but the majority are in the none, 1, or 2 range... I also wonder if anyone has truly taken the "Jersey Slam" which is to fill all 6 buck tags in a season... Not enough options to poll that here, but if anyone has, please write it in :)
 
2 bucks, 3 does...its not there. but let me just add...0 wounds.
also, my deer are spread out over 3 farms with plenty of miles between them ...
1 buck and 1 doe from one spot
1 buck and 1 doe from another spot
1 doe from the last spot

I usually try to take 2 does for every buck, but quit early this year cause does were far and few between and felt I shouldn't shoot another deer. others in the area shot does and no buck, so it all evens out.
 
I would also like to see a "Jersey Slam." I have never even heard of anyone doing it. The most I ever got in a year is 3 bucks. I usually don't even see 6 bucks in a year haha.
 
No category for antlered doe?[confused]
