I live in eastern washington county maine. We have a very low deer population. I say 30hrs if you dont get the rare chance of one crossing the road. People still do it every year. I know one guy who was a logger and always kept a .30-30 in his skidder. He shot every deer he saw. He averaged 5-6 deer a year. He has given up the business now due to the low price the mill is paying for lumber. But this man was in the woods every day almost. His only crew was a few buddies and his sons. I know that he never passed up a shot.

Also we dont have many open areas just really thick woods. They are pretty hard to find. I go to camp one week a year 2 1/2 hours away and you see lots of deer. No trophys mostly does and crocth horns.
