Hello guys, I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I also have a terminology question.
If the daily limit for your region is 3 doe (or antlerless) and 1 buck, what do you call it when you harvest the maximum of each in the same day? I referred to it as a "Grand Slam", out of lack of a real name. Is there a name for it other than " I limited out"?
I'm looking for a real answer, but funny ones are appreciated, too.
 
A job? Yep! I was helping a landowner cull some doe last year and I took 3 before 9am. Luckily, there were 2 other guys with me and we each field dressed one. Thankfully, there was no tracking involved. Not a one moved more than 15ft after getting hit with a 355gr maxi-ball. All were taken on a field edge, so we could drive the truck up and get them. Hauling them out of the woods? One per day, thank you!

Last year, in Illinois, I started the bow season In late October with 1 either sex and 4 antlerless tags in my pocket.

On one really cold Halloween morning last year, as I sat with 3 arrows in my quiver and one nocked, I saw approaching deer. All does.

I could see my truck from my stand about 200 yards away.

By 12 PM, my quiver was empty.

I had one antlerless tag left.

4 deer in one sit.

One good 8 point.

I did not get back to camp until 8:30 that evening.
 
One problem I did not anticipate with multiple kills the first time I did it, was blood trails.
It can get VERY confusing and time consuming when b/t criss cross.

And FOUR b/t's, they had better ALL be good, double lung shots!
 
I have killed three in one day on two occasions. I shall not do that again. I butcher my own and that is a lot of meat to cut and wrap. I might...maybe killo two but that would be my limit.

As for terminology is called a wunderwi. As in, "I wonder why he would even think of that question." In other werds, you may call it whatever the heck you like except some sort of slam. It would only be a slam if the Spookester did it.
 
It is not a big deal at all if you do everything yourself. I have killed 2 or 3 in one day many times in Tennessee, could have killed a buck a few times, but a buck that I would shoot has not shown up when since the limit was changed to 3 does per day (one year, opening day of gun season I shot 2 does that each dressed over 100 lbs at daylight and then killed a buck that dressed 172 lbs at 9:30, it was not bad at all). I have also personally killed up to 7 does in one day many times while helping to cull does on a private fenced in area and it is not bad at all.

I have killed 3 does in a day one time and promised myself to never do it again.

Yep, too much work for me. Went to a friend of mines place a couple years back because they were trying to kill their 100 does for the year. Got out of the truck at 3:15PM, walked to food plot and it was full of deer. Picked a big doe and pulled the trigger, doen she went and the others just stood there. Pulled trigger again, down she went and the others went to running. Another run straigth too me and stopped at 20 yds, down she went. Looked at phone and it was 3:22. Then I thought, what the heck have I done? The work was about to begin. Was able to drive right to them though.
 
I think the only way I would shoot more than one deer would be if I shot a doe early I usually wait and see if a buck comes. Never has happened though. One deer is a pretty big job itself, but I couldn't imagine dragging out four, and buthering them all when I am by my lonesome.
 
I sometimes just dedicate a day to stacking them up and take 3 does. It takes less total time to handle 3 deer at a time than it does spreading them out over different days and then I can concentrate on my buck hunting.
 
I been there when I was younger and thought I had to kill every deer that I saw. I killed 4 one evening one of the first years that limit changed to 3 a day , man I was still up at daylight the next morning butchering deer lesson learned. One at a time for me from here on out.
 
I would rather kill 2, 3 or more when legal. Only have to clean up one time and it does not take much longer to take care of 2, 3, etc. than it does one.
 
I have dragged a button buck strapped to a doe on a hand truck out of a hardwood hollow in the dark by myself last year. A good workout for sure, but I'd still like to get the 3 doe/1 buck in one day once in my life just to say I did it.
 
I have killed a double a couple of times, and had the opportunity to kill a third on one occasion, but did not do it, because i butcher my own. Two is enough work for me.....
