Actually if I was so inclined I could see deer every day. 365 days a year.

I don't remember the last time I didn't see a deer on stand. But I have a really good area with a hidden 5 acre food plot surrounded by 100 acres of woods and swamp. Season starts Sat. and I can start thinning the doe's. I'll only take a heart shot because I don't want to go tracking into the timber and spook the bucks.

I don't know if anyone can see deer every single time they head to the woods, but some more than other I would assume

Went out yesterday and saw 4 bucks. Nothing that was tempting but it was cool. I've been out 7 times and saw deer 4 times.

deer aint touched my plot in weeks, i am guessing its the acorns falling, but i aint sure.
i will move my cam this time if nothin is on it, over to the acorn tree, and see if im right.
when i first started to hunt this one property, i wondered fer a couple years if there were any deer,
after lots of hard werk clearing, and plotting, it finally paid off...
now every year i go, i see the deer, and can just let em kick it, with out ever taking a shot....where as the 1st deer i saw i smoked it in the 1st 5 seconds.
i always saw sign, deer crap and tracks, but it wasnt til i smoked that 1st one i really started seeing stuff...
what im gettin at is, keep werkin it, and it could pay off later.

Even in my very best spot I would not see deer while on stand every time. My average is seeing deer every other weekend when we get close to November. I spook one or two nearly every time I go to my stand but this is a 1/4 mile from my stand site.

Behind my house, I typically see between 2 and 12 deer. That being said, some of those deer are in the field walking past my stand (I do not have access to the field), some enter the woods to the left of my stand, some enter the woods to the right of my stand. I have access to 3000 feet of woodline that borders a bean field (this year). My neighbor's boy was in one of the stands yesterday evening and had a batchelor group of 3 eight points, 2 6 points and a 4 point enter the woods and linger within boy range of the stand....only problem is that we are doe only for this week.

On public land I hunt, I typically see deer 2 out of evey 3 times I sit.
