Poll on how many +125" you killed (estimated green gross)

[Edcyclopedia]

With 4,240 Beasts on our team (as of 12/31/2104 8:30AM), I wonder what type of +125" (yield) each Beast has had.
Dan / Carol, is there is a way you could post how many active members are on the site per month on average for the past 6-months or something like that?
(Just to get an idea of "the active" members verses the 4,240).

I think this could gives us beginners and Intermediates some hope - "that there is not a deer behind every tree"...

This can be anonymous by just using the pole or add to the conversation...
A few Questions I would be interested in (you could cut-n-paste and place answer besides question if it makes it easier)?:

1. 1. Ratio of sightings per kill =
   2. Average seen / yr.=
   3. Number of deer killed within 30-miles (or 1-hour) of your home =
   4. Number of deer killed traveling more than 200-miles (or say +3-4hours) =
   5. Hill country kills =
   6. Farm country kills =
   7. Swamp / Marsh kills =
   8. Around crops =
   9. Over food plots =
   10. Over bait =
   11. Public =
   12. Private =
   13. How many years have you been hunting for deer =
   14. How many years have you been hunting for 125" (or bigger) =
   15. Average hours per year hunting & scouting combined (do not add traveling time, only woods time) =
   16. If you care to share what did you select on the poll =
   

Have a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year To ALL!!!
Not to mention, a great 2015 hunting season as well!

I'll start as a poor example LOL
1. Ratio of sightings per kill = 0
2. Average seen / yr.= 1 if I'm lucky!
3. Number of deer killed within 30-miles (or 1-hour) of your home = 0
4. Number of deer killed traveling more than 200-miles (or say +3-4hours) = 0
5. Hill country kills = 0
6. Farm country kills = 0
7. Swamp / Marsh kills = 0
8. Around crops = 0 (NH isn't a crop state)
9. Over food plots = 0 (do not own private or have people that perform any type of QDMA)
10. Over bait = 0 (mostly illegal; w/o land owner permission & none on public allowed))
11. Public = 0
12. Private =0
13. How many years have you been hunting for deer = 31
14. How many years have you been hunting for 125" (or bigger) = 6 ("always" in theory - dreaming of course, but exclusively or in reality since 2008)
15. Average hours per year hunting & scouting combined (do not add traveling time, only woods time) = 150-200
16. If you care to share what did you select on the poll = ZERO

Really, I just have about 4... They are only "P&Y" if you put them in the book. And after the 1st 4 or so I stopped entering them.

Green gross wouldn't make the book anyways...
All estimated deer are fine for this poll/questions

FYI - I EDited the thread for +125" estimated gross green score - in other words "for the DIY scorer"

[exojam]

My answers mixes in does since that is basically all I see.

1. Ratio of sightings per kill = 0 (for the bucks you are talking about)
2. Average seen / yr.= maybe 4 does
3. Number of deer killed within 30-miles (or 1-hour) of your home = 1 doe
4. Number of deer killed traveling more than 200-miles (or say +3-4hours) = 2 (1 doe and 1 buck that was not recovered before other animals found him).
5. Hill country kills = 0
6. Farm country kills = 2
7. Swamp / Marsh kills = 1
8. Over crops = 0
9. Over food plots = 0
10. Over bait = 0
11. Public = 0
12. Private = 1
13. How many years have you been hunting = 3 (2 really hampeder by access method)
14. How many years have you been hunting for P&Y (or bigger) = 0
15. Average hours per year hunting & scouting combined (do not add traveling time, only woods time) = did not count
16. If you care to share what did you select on the poll = 0

I am not at the point where I want to start limiting myself to P&Y class bucks.With that being said the last few years I haven't put the time in like I used to and man can I see it.This year was a bad year just for deer sightings let alone seeing any decent bucks.I usually see a bucks that are 100 inch or bigger every year.The last 2 years I have seen 0 that are that size or bigger.Now I know they are there because I have trail cam pics and also have others hunting the farm that have seen them.This year I am working to change that.I have already scouted more this year post season than I have in the past 2 or 3 years and plan to do as much as I can till the snow is to deep,then I will wait for spring.One other thing is I am not aggressive but I plan to change that also.With that being said heres my meek results!!lLOL

The last 4 seasons Ive been really busy with my daughter and her barrel racing limiting my hunting time greatly, this year I told her I was taking Nov. off so I could hunt and it paid off with my only buck since 09'.

[Master Chief]

Just one. Public hill country/big woods

State/providence would be another thing for you to add to your data

0 for me... I have seen 3 deer in my life that were over 125". None were while hunting. The largest bucks seem to top out around 120" around here. I see 1 or 2 a year over 100". I have been hunting about 29 yrs.. I have killed around 65 deer. Around 50 on public.
