2 years ago I had 33 buck sightings total, 25 of those were different bucks....and of the 33, 24 presented a shot. (This was for the entire season, bow and gun). Last year was not as good for me...15 sightings, 11 different bucks.... and of the 15, I could have shot 11. I can't remember off hand about seasons before the last 2 but it was similar.
Keep in mind we have alot of deer in VA and WV, but not many big bucks at all(at least in the areas where I hunt). I only shot 1 of all those I saw in the past 2 seasons. My setups net me a shot opportunity often, but I'm only shooting if it's a wall hanger (by my standards, for where I hunt...which are few and far between unfortunately).
