[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5264586, member: 2805"] It's all realative to what I'm trying to accomplish and where I'm hunting. For example in TN during the rut, I'm hunting doe areas. If I don't see 5 or 6 in a hunt, I'm disappointed. I'm expecting to be where the does are, and expecting bucks to be scent checking them. Sure, I sometimes see a buck crossing/searching with no does out... but that isn't the purpose of why I chose that stand that day. Another example, we are still a week and a half out from breeding here in south MS. Yesterday I hunted downwind of a bedding area a small racked but mature 7pt lives in. I didn't expect to see ANYTHING, didn't see anything, yet I wasn't disappointed in the least. Where I was at gave me the best chance of killing a particular buck. Now after going 3 or 4 hunts without seeing a deer, it's almost like subconsciously my confidence is shaken, and I'll hunt a high traffic spot just to see ANY deer. But I've been overly lucky so far in MS... ive seen at least 1 deer on about 50% of my hunts locally. [/QUOTE]
