That is 10+ deer per year every single year for 50+ years. How many deer are you allowed per year, even if you are hunting multiple states.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I have hunted 5 different states successfully, starting in the 1970's. Alaska, mostly, (by far), Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, and California. Alaska was by far the most generous with up to 6 deer per season, where I spent most of my time, followed by California, (when I hunted blacktails there, you could buy 2 tags), with the rest being a limit of 1. Most of the nearly 40 years I was in Alaska, I took 3-4 deer annually, and I did indeed take 2 in California, twice. I'm not sure how many that would total, and I know plenty of guys in southeast Alaska that have taken many more than I, but those are serious limits in that part of Alaska, and not many folks from down south even hunt there at all, and those non-residents that do have much smaller bag limits. Now if you are moneyed up, hunt lots of private land that doesn't have state bags, are involved in culling operations, and travel the country shooting deer, I suppose that, after decades of doing such, 600 legal deer might be possible. On the other hand.....................?

How old are you Bruce T? Simple southern math you have to kill 10 deer EVERY YEAR for 50 years just to reach 500 that’s a lot of deer. One season being sick,working,or bad luck and it goes up 64.I hunt alot of states.8 years while living in Virginia I was averaging 25 to 30 deer a year.
