all depends..its all about being in the right spot at the right time. being i am a rifle hunter my deer sightings revolve around when someone pushed them out 99% of the time. that kinda makes it hard to get consistant sightings when the deer are running for their lives from one thicket to the next. there were days 20-30deer seen and could been killed by me were not unheard of. but then again the days and days of seening NOTHING in terms of deer are also not unheard of. but now that im getting into bow hunting i think my sighting SHOULD go up. less disturbed deer. i dont care who you are unless your on TRUELY unhunted land around my area your not going to catch a deer feeding or anything like that. they get pressured so hard its not funny. and if my group isnt driving them there is someone else that has or has been in the area. bow hunting though ill have the woods to myself for the most part. a few small game hunters and a few fellow bow hunters, but way less pressure then rifle season. and ill have a 2 week span when noone BUT bowhunters will be out. once the small game and fall turkey action starts ill hunt areas that i know they dont. and i am going to try to take my rifle hunting tactics to the bow stand and hunt the funnels, bottle necks and thicket edges etc that im used to hunting when the pressure is on. i think the big bucks will still stay in their saftey routes.
