I tend to get an animal every year be it a moose elk deer but i didnt get one last year i did get one this year though and so far every year when i have shot one deer ive followed it by another by the end of the year.When hunting in the foothills i wont see a deer everytime i hunt but when i do its usually a lone buck or a doe and a couple fawns.When hunting the plains i see deer every time and tend to see about 100+ deer a day, not a within range but do see tons.
