Overall for the last 5 years or so that I restarted hunting after a 20 year lay off I take 2-4 deer a year and hunt 150 to 200 hours. scouting since I live on the property is hard to put a number on but when i go into the woods just to scout probably another 50 hours per season. Last year I took a spike on opening day and diddent see another deer for six weeks ( 100 houirs or so in my tree) As my wife puts it to those who call, Phils in his tree!! One shot one kill Striper Phil
