I will most likely only get to hunt those places once or twice because I will almost always have at least 5 other people in my party.........
Who in the hell routinely bowhunts in groups of 6 or more? Unless you meant during gun season but Jesus this is a bowhunting forum. No wonder you guys have trouble seeing deer, one reason I bowhunt is to get AWAY from the crowds. To each his own but I would rather have a smaller group and have more chance to see deer, my annual week long bowhunting trip is with 3 total guys hunting 600-800 acres.
For you maybe it is more about bonding and spending time with friends/family and that is all good yet you also complain that you don't see many deer.
