RE: You aren't getting it if...
You start out so far in the twilight zone I didn't even want to waste my time on you, but toward the end of your post you almost make some sense. I think, assuming your trying to plug positive mental attitude. If that's your point, then kudos. I think attitude is 80% of deer hunting, the rest is details.
As for you twilight zone stuff, get real. In MT, according to the experts you've got some country with deer densities <10 per square mile, and other areas with densities >50 per square mile. Do you suppose maybe a guy on the former area might possibly be an okayish deer hunter and not see a deer every time out? Go to the other area, you would probably say, but some of that country with low densities has the best big buck ratios, so there are trade-offs to be made. Sometimes life, and hunting, doesn't boil down to a simple series of four yes or no questions.

RE: You aren't getting it if...
I just got into it haven't even participated in a season yet. I have spent alot of time walking next years hunting grounds. Finding trails, studying the geography, and flora determining where the whitetails might be next fall. Haven't seen a live one yet, but alot of tracks and sign. A doe for the freezer next year? You bet I would be pleased. A small hardwood stand right here in town that opens onto a hayfield were does are observed daily on the late summer/fall evenings. Will I be sitting on the downwind edge of that field next to an oak tree before sunup on opening day? You bet! Am I getting it? I think so.
