Amount of Deer you see?

RE: Amount of Deer you see?
Starting last Thanksgiving until today I've seen three deer while hunting. Two does last year, both 100yds or farther moving across the trails. And the spike buck I took Sunday. That's three deer in probably 50 outings and I got 1 out of three with my bow. Some days I sit in the stand from 5:30am until Noon, then come back out from 2:30/3pm until dark and see nothing. I could hunt elsewhere or move around if I chose, but most of the time I just enjoy the anticipation of a deer actually showing up. Two seasons, three deer and one kill.

I'd say my average in Parke co, IN is around 8 per day but I have seen 37 in one evening stand moving from a beding area to the fields from about 4:30 till 5:45 last year on the second weekend of gun season. On Sunday thislast weekendI was out scouting. Walked about 100yds. into a thicket from the edge of a corn field sat done behind a tree in an opening where 4 ravines came to a point and in 35 minutes had 17 deer come by within 40yards 4 being bucks. 1 Taker three smaller ones the rest was does.

I probably average 3 deer per sit. Sometimes, as others have said, I'll see a bunchone day, and none the next. Last year on Nov 2nd, I saw 6 buck, all legal, but not a single doe. I thought that was strange.
