My freezer is full.
I have had no trouble getting meat. I usually shoot bucks for meat and leave the does alone to make more bucks for future meat, unless I'm hunting in an area with a high deer population. One area I hunt a lot, we have noticed a world of difference since we mostly stopped shooting does altogether.

I did not kill anything, but my kids each got one so our freezer is good.

Shot one big doe and realized that I don't have much freezer space. Had to pass on two does the next week because I didn't have anywhere to put them.
That being said, I saw a lot more deer in the woods than I normally do.

I must eat more venison than most. I shot 4 and my son 1, and I'm already out of backstrap, jerky, and cube steak. I do have enough burger to get me to September.
I shot 2 fat bucks for burgers & 2 knot heads for the grill. Even the ham steaks are tender.
And of course we let the grandkids shoot deer also. Each got a fat spike. Well one got a nice 4 point. He was proud of that big 4pt. 3 year in a row he's got a 4pt.
We also seen plenty of does. Should make a lot of bucks for the up coming season.
This past season I hunted 39 days, 61 morning and evening hunts, saw 218 does, 145 bucks, and shot 2 does and 1 buck. Every hunt had multiple sightings. Yea, a lot were the same deer, but we have no shortage here.
I could have killed my limit the first 2 days of the season.

No they aren't if so we would have a ten buck limit not two the three I did get this year are all gone now no hamburger or any meat left I feed three people I need five or six to last until next year so that's your opinion two bucks would not do for meat

Young bucks eat better than old does, IMO.
