What percentage of sits do you....

Actually have deer in bow range?

I'm gonna say mine is less than %5

 

So far this year.....0%. But i have only been out a couple times and in not very productive spots.

 

I'm like Gri22ly except I'll put into plain English.

I have deer w/i bow range about 45% of my hunts.

 

depends on what stand i go to.. i have a few where its almost givin to have deer in bow range.. but the chance of seein a "good buck" isnt very high... so far this year ive been "exploring" new places ive never bow hunted.. so far none in bow range

 

Probably half and half. Those within bow range I do see-80%.

 

I'd say I have them in shooting range on about 40-50% of my hunts. My season has been open 2 weeks, been out 3 sits total, had deer in range 2 of 3 sits so far.

 

I would say 10% in non-rut phases. 20%-30% during the rut.

 

I have had about 80% of my deer come into bow range for me.

 

I've sat 6 times and have gotten 3 shots, which would be %50. But those 6 sits have been for 53 hours, with only 17 deer spotted.

 

bow range for me is 20 yards or less i shoot a recurve

 

So far this year I've had 7 deer in bow range. 3 of those being in the last two hunts, this evening and Thursday evening. I'm uploading a video now of a long encounter with a couple fawns, that circled my stand browsing inside of 15 yards for about 12 minutes total. It was a fun hunt. I haven't counted sits this year, but I am finding that having a lot of options in stand sites is awesome. Last October up to this point, I had seen WAY more deer, but less of them were in range. So far this October, I have seen less deer, but a higher percentage of them are within bow range, which is 25-30 yards and less, for me..

 

Within Bowrange (40 yards) this year is about 50%. Only two sits without a sighting at all. I will be sitting over a fresh scrape line (made within 48 hours fresh) in 5 hours, and am hoping I can call my season quits shortly there after. Good luck fellas!

 

Last year 18 sits - 50% of deer inside bow range.

This year 3 sits - 66% of the time I've had deer inside bow range.

Good post.

 

Dang i wish i had 18 sits under my belt let alone 42 lol
i would say 50% or so

 

One young buck under my stand out of 5 sits or 20%.

 

Some years it feels like almost every one, other years I am praying for it to happen.

This years log shows 8 of 14 sits I had shot opportunities at deer.

 

15 Sits - 1 Deer sighted - 1 Deer in Bow Range - 1 Dead Deer:D

 

So far this year.........8 sits - 6 times I have had deer within range

75% so far. I think that won't stay that way the more times I hunt though :D

 

been out six times and haven't seen one this year. I wish i could see some not in range.
