About the same here, yearlings are commonly saw multiple times and sometimes several days in a row. 2 1/2 yr old bucks not as often but there are always some that are homebodies and we see them quite often. Most all 3 1/2 yr old bucks will be targets if they have a rack that fits the bill, and rarely do we see them more than once, but then again there are always one or two that will use the same area and either get killed or be deemed to get another year. Now once they reach 4 1/2+ we are lucky to see them at all, and kill them at the first opportunity, unless they have a brokem main beam or unusually small rack. Its very rare that I ever get multiple opportunities at a mature buck, my experience has been you better kill him while he's there or chalk it up to experience!

Like most mostly yearlings that hang around. Remember one year Me and 3 of my buddies saw this one 7 point over a 3 week period. We called him lucky as each one of us missed him with a bow. I killed a "nice" 1/2" sappling at 12 yards for him to get away. Most of the time we only see a big deer once.

Exactly! You better make that one chance count, because you aren't going to get many second chances.

I'm with most of ya'll.. I usually see them maybe twice if they are younger. The older bucks around here have so much overgrowth to hide in, you never see them.

I hear you Winchester! One that stands out would, if I had been on the ball like I should have, have netted me another 140 class 10pt on my wall next to the only other one I have now, only difference that I could see was that this one had ivory white antlers, while the one on my wall is dark.
