Solo....I hunted 70+ times before I tagged my first buck this year. If I'd gone through the whole season without one....the last thing I'd cite would be that the deer didn't cooperate on their 50%.
Just a difference in philosophy I suppose. Not saying I'm right.
GMMAT...I know that is not the "norm"...not seeing a deer within range for an entire season. But I am privledged to be living a state that's pretty decent for deer hunting with a bow. Andyou are right, if a guy goes a whole season here in IL without at least getting a shot off...it prob. is his fault.
