how many deer do you guys typically see?
 

On average how many of you guys see deer everytime you go out? and how many big mature bucks do you see a year.

during bow season i only see deer about 50 percent of the time.
during firearm season i usually see around 15-30 deer every day.

I see deer about 75% of the time. Mature deer is a toss up. Who knows, might go all year an nothing or might see three or four.

I see deer pretty much every time I go out, might only be one or it could be as many as 20-25. Mature bucks, If i'm lucky 2-4, and by mature bucks I mean 150" or better.

Mark me down for a big goose egg. I don't usually see anything. Last year I went 26 times and saw 4 deer. Saw a 1 horned spike on hunt like 20 then the last day last hour I saw 2 spikes and a doe.

Back in 2000 I would see around 30-80 deer a night mostly doe's and a few bucks a couple bruisers 140-150ish and always usually seen one in the 170's. Now I see around 0-40 deer a night and some Monsters. The bucks are few but much healthier

Like most depends on the time of year, early season like now its real hit or miss with it being hot, as it cool I consistently see deer on my sits, then as usual as it gets closer to the rut I see more deer , as for mature buck I see few because of the surrounding properties shoot anything with any size antlers on their her heads, so bucks have a snowballs chance of making it to maturity.

Bow hunting I see deer 1/2 to 2/3 of the time , but to many times I see them well out of range
Mature bucks , I see 2 -3 total before the rut
Then several more during the chase / rut

Here in NY, if i even see a fawn during a day out i consider it a good day, and maybe a mature buck once every couple of years

Being from N.C. I know what you mean Fishtaconc. Some people around here won't let them mature. I'm not trying to make anyone mad by saying that because its their right to take what ever they chose as long as its legal. But I do see deer about 50% of the time and the only mature buck that I seen last year was on the last day.

I think its been about 3 years since the last time I saw a mature buck ( 130" ), Like you, if I see a fawn, its a good day. I would say half the time I go out I see deer. Most out of range. I might get 1 or 2 that come within range during the whole bow season. Must be where the only one that don't live of deer preserves, lol......20 to 40 deer a day???? thats unreal..... Never in my life...... The most I have ever seen in 1 day was 10. And that was last year. And they where all out of range....

I see deer most times out. Usually 2-6 in a day. Sometimes during the rut I'll see more than this. I have never seen a "big mature buck" hunting in my area. Never. I might see what "I consider a shooter" once or twice a season. It's all good though.;)

I rarely see them maybe 20% of the time. its a good day if i see one
I can't imagine 20- 40 a day

i would say i see deer 70-80% of my sits, usually 1-6 deer... and i would say i see around 3-5 mature bucks
