really depends on how the freezer looks....how the seasons going and how late/early it is in the season......this year i told myself i was waiting for a buck.....but my opening day was messed up by a bunch of hunters that were inconsiderate and sat infront of me....spooking my deer...not even intercepting them....spooking them....so close i could hear the deer busting them.....i would had another 40+deer sighting day in my stand if they werent there....and they weather was cold snowy and 30mph winds....so after passing the few deer i seen about noon i shot a big doe....then buck hunted till saturday......the rest of the seasons weather was rough.....i passed a bunch of does then the first saturday i shot another one being dad couldnt hunt any longer and we only had 2 deer in the freezer.....then i horn hunted the rest of the year....hunting about 15more days.....never did get that buck.....passed atleast 50 easy does.....i had alot of fun and had a good season.....i seen a few bucks......they just never worked out for me......maybe next year.....in my opinion it was worth it....if i got a buck i wouldnt be complaining about it......and im not going to now.....i enjoyed seeeing that many deer close enough to kill with a flintlock i had most of the time....and learned alot...cant wait for next season
