I once went the entire month of october and the first 14 days of November without seeing a deer. I finally saw a 6-point on the opener of rifle and got him. I think it was around 30-35 some odd hunts.

I almost erased this from my memory. The first year I hunted I did not see a deer. I hunted for almost three whole months, about 60-70 hunts. The next year I didn't see a deer till mid october. All total, about 80-85 hunts before I saw my first deer.
