I hope not, otherwise I've had a LOT of busted seasons. I can understand when I read posts about people only seeing three deer a year, then I would be more inclined to have the "brown it's down" mentality. That's what my early hunting years were like, hardly saw anydeer,but that's because I was terrible at hunting and didn't have anyone to show me better, except Outdoor Life and Field and Streams. After years of hard knocks(and some better hunting locals) I usually see lots of deer. Bowhunting improved my sightings as well (and my skills). I've gotten to the place where I just don't enjoy shooting small bucks and will only shoot a buck if I want to put him on the wall. I also don't shoot does often because I don't want to drag. LOL Now that I've got my own place I'm going to start shooting a LOT of does to try and bring ratios closer to ideal. Having a deer within bow range is a victory to me even if I don't shoot. It's all fun and a pasttime that allows me to see a lotof beauty and see sunrises and sunsets.
