You guys make me sick. In the west, for the most part, the limit is one deer, usually buck only. The general seasons are a month or less with a few extended season areas. Deer in the west also live in big country. The deer you see in one place today may be several miles away tomorrow just for something to do. Tree stands are the exception. Success is the exception as well, especially if you don't have vacation time to get after them. Count you blessing in the whitetail states
