RE: What's your "record"
Well, I've never kept track, but I'm positive that I've sat in a stand, 20 times in a row, several times, and not even seen deer, much less of them in bow range. I seen 11 deer last year all of last season (with 5 being one morning) and thats from September to January!
So far this season, I have had a doe under my stand opening morning that busted me, so now, so far this season, it has been 5 sits without seeing another deer.
My dream is to have a place to hunt that I can consistently see deer...one day.
