If I was buying a deer hunting property the # 1 consideration would be the surrounding property owners and their practices, ethics or lack of. You can manage all you want. It only takes 1 property doing what they want to directly effect what is on yours.
rem270 said it. I don't care anything about about seeing a lot of deer anymore. It used to not be that way though.
Substantially fewer deer would get boring to me after awhile unless I was collecting a bruiser often enough. For me it takes both quantity and quality to truly enjoy it. I guess I'm just weird.

God Nashville hunting guides that was a good one glad I started the post getting some great feed back and it's a better topic then what's your favorite summer sausage 
More deer. I get bored seeing no deer waiting on that big deer. Big deer means you were lucky he came by, no one shot him already. Just because you shoot a big deer doesn't mean you are great hunter. Look at all the juveniles on here that shoot big deer and are not that great a hunter or have hunted long enough to be experienced in killing big bucks.
I'd rather have quantity with possibilities of growing some quality over time

Already have a property with low density but good quality. Love it!
I like seeing deer every hunt and I don't care if it's does, spikes or brutes. I guess it all depends on the location you hunt and how you've grown up hunting. For me I've always hunted the mountains and normally the deer density is low or at least it's hard to get on them so if I shoot a doe, spike or a brute I'm just as thrilled with any of them. I've been fortunate to take a few big deer for my standards in the 150ish mark but those come once every 2 or 3 years and it's definitely not every year. So if I see some does at least I consider the hunt successful even if I hold off on pulling the trigger.
Agreed. I hunt for pleasure. If I want to kill a deer I don't want to wait. Sometimes I leave the woods satisfied by the deer I saw that day without firing a shot.
