Default Seeing deer vs having them in range...

I'm just interested in how many deer we see but never come into our kill zone. If you would, how many bucks do you see, but never enter your kill zone, and how many does do the same?

I'm not talking necessarily about a shot opportunity, but inside your kill zone. Just because a deer is in that zone doesn't always mean we have a shot at it.

I'm having to think pretty hard here, but I saw........15 bucks last fall. Every one of them were in my kill zone. I saw none that weren't.

I am guesstimating here, but I would guess I saw roughly......100 does last year as well. I can remember only 5 that never entered my zone. If I would have shot every deer I had an legitimate shot at last year......It would have been around 20.

And, what from your own numbers can be learned? Myself, they tell me that I set up in the right spots. I mean, just getting a deer in close enough to kill is half the battle, right?
