A couple times last year I had a herd of atleast 20 deer come through no problem, and everytime we went down south, we saw atleast 6 deer a piece (3-5 of us). always early morning to around noon hunts, and last year, only time we didnt bring back deer was during bow season, ended up taking I think 9 deer, 1 buck, 8 does. the buck was a spike that i missed during bow...also, My father had shots on 6 different 6pts+ with atleast 2 being big 8-10ptrs...we wont get into that story though.

When deer hunting in my area, It is very rare to be out day and not see a deer. I dont know if that has actually happened to me in a full days hunt. But NO it never gets old! I love seeing deer and hunting them!

I live in north Alabama where we can take a buck a day EVERY day from October 20th until January 31rst ... they say we have about 30 deer per square mile in my county ...UNTIL deer season starts then it seems about 1 deer per square mile ... seriously we do see a lot of deer here but the doe to buck ratio sucks so we do not see a lot of shooter bucks...so it never really gets boring here because we are always hunting for a mature buck ....

It would never get old for me. I have had awesome luck and harvesting many deer. I get just as excited still when I see a Doe, Fawn, Spike or a hog. I see deer most everyday of the year. Never gets old! It's in the blood. The only difference now is I can control my nerves for the most part. It's after the shot I fall apart THANK GOD. Or I would never pull it off.

For me it never gets old!! I love seeing deer and watching their behavior. Seems like I see something different and learn something new everytime out. Its great!! We are blessed here in MO in the areas I hunt with healthy deer herd numbers. Some areas 20+ deer in a evening is not uncommon on a single field. Most areas you are guarnteed sightings everytime out. However with great # doesn't mean you can just sit anywhere and be on deer. If you don't pick the right trails and transition spots you get skunked.

Hey Jimmy S. It used to be like that in Putnam County, WV back in the late 60's but not any more. I see deer every day I'm in the woods and usually take 5 to 7 a season. Back when I first started deer hunting I was lucky to see that many does in a season and I hunted for 5 years before I finally saw a buck. I enjoy watching deer while in my stand and by seeing so many it helps me to be more selective when I have tags to fill.

well, when you see deer, and you still have a tag for them, its all right. like if im sitting in the woods, and i see a whole bunch of does, its pretty cool, but after i shoot one of em, and fill my tag, seeing them kinda gets old. usually by the last day, im begging my dad to let me fill his tag too, just cuz im so bored of seeing them.

It will never get old seeing deer, but it is hard sometimes when your hunting a certain buck trying not to get winded by other deer. If you spook one it can wreck the whole hunt.
