I wouldn't say so, this year I only saw one buck and one doe together the entire season and I was out every single weekend of firearm season, and I even took a few Fridays off here and there. I enjoy spending time in the woods anyways, I live a very stressful life so It's real nice to just get out in the middle of nowhere in solitude. By the way I didn't harvest the buck or doe, they were well out of my confident accuracy range and they were in a god damn swamp.
