RE: # Deer seen in a day
I was in a club in Georgia once (mainly for bowhunting) and it was not uncommon to see as many as 20 deer in one hunt (morning or evening). There were never many trophy sized deer to come off that property, but there sure were plenty of deer to keep you interested. Does averaged 80 lbs while bucks would go around 100 lbs. Reasons for leaving club? As I matured with the bow, the smaller deer just didnt do it for me anymore, wanted something bigger.
Another club I am currently in, me and a buddy bushhogged a powerline (last year) that seperated the planted pine thickets from the river bottoms. On 2 back to back evenings, I sat in my rifle stand and seen 28 one evening and 36 deer the next evening and all being out in the powerline at once. You can see about 150 yards to one side of that stand and somewhere around 400-450 yards the other way.
