I'm only gonna talk Whitetails here because if I get into Mule Deer that's a whole different ball game. Last season I saw over 60 bucks. Of those at least 6 were Mature bucks and that is pretty average if I hunt hard. I agree with what Greg says about time put in it really is relative to what you see. There is usually a 2 to 2 1/2 week time frame every year that I am in a tree pretty much daylight til dark. most of the Big Bucks I saw this year I saw between 10am and 3pm.
