I expect to see almost every time. I've been at this long enough and have a big enough population of deer in most places I hunt so I feel I should be able to put myself in position to see deer quite often. It has nothing to do with any sort of competition or "need" to kill something. I know I'll go a few sits here and there with no deer, but when it gets to be consecutive strings of deerless sits, something is wrong and I get quite frustrated, as I am at the moment since I have not seen a deer in about 20 hours of hunting.
