Ditto. I work my tail off in the off season. Seeing deer makes the sit more enjoyable and exciting......Just because I see deer doesn't mean I'm going to shoot everytime, I just enjoy watching them close by knowing that I have done my job correctly especiallywhen they are within bow range. You can learn alot just by watching deer. Getting skunked means nothing as there is always tomorrrow exception to that for meisopening day.
