I have hunted 11 days and spend about 6-8 hours per day on a stand and have not killed a deer yet. On the other hand, I see on average about 20 deer each time I sit in my stand. I don't know how being picky figures into the average. The weekend after Christmas my daughter and I will probably harvest 4-5 deer in a 3 day period. The state of Texas was trying to figure days per deer harvested and I have to figure that any survey taken on private land must be flawed. On the other hand hunters on public land would be a good indicator of hours per deer because most deer that are seen on public land are quickly put into ice chest.
