not for me.......you still have to find the deer.....i seen over 15 deer the first day and we had 3 down by 9am....thats not luck at all to me....its the pay off of doing our homework and finding that great spot.....if you dont know how to find spots like that it doesnt matter how long you sit in the woods your chances of seeing deer arent to good if your not where deer want to be...so the challenge is still there.....and having over 1million people chasing them around with highpowered rifles makes it way harder......my one friend went all season without seeing 1 deer becuase he isnt the best hunter.....moves alot...sleeps to much....doesnt listen to knowledgable people so he didnt see a deer all year.....
Well said Mauser, I have gun hunted for years and I started bow hunting two years ago, I did bow hunt one year about 15 years ago but simply was not that into it then. Bow hunting I have seen a lot of deer, up to 15 in a single afternoon, there have also been a few days where I saw none, the thing with bow hunting I have found is taking my gun experience and amplifying it by ten, even then it took me two seasons to get my first bow kill, I learned a lot and am really looking forward to this season I found a really great spot with a lot of deer as long as nothing happens to my spot I should do well. I have had several nice deer in range that simply never presented the right angle for an ethical shot, there was one yearling I could have taken, but it was so little I couldn' t even bring myself to draw the bow.
