I had a legitimate chance at 4 bucks. It has been pretty consistent for me over 50 years of hunting mn. I have the chance at 2-4 bucks per year and this would include the years when I was heavy into archery hunting as well as rifle.

I really just got started with my season. Hunted 4 days last week. I think I had honest opportunities at 16 different bucks on 3 different properties.

I did have years with just one opportunity to shoot a buck.

Had one deer I could see nubs, the rest were acting like bucks, but no visible antlers.

Total of 4 bucks I had a legitimate chance to harvest. Highest scoring buck was probably a 100-110.
This is probably a little low as I usually see a couple of forks every year and this year I saw none.
I wanted to add I probably had 10 does on my place this season. It was an odd year, typically I have deer pushed onto my property but this year I saw none. Maybe my neighbors did not drive their property.

I only had a chance at 1 buck and I shot him on my 1st sit. When hunting with my wife we saw 4 bucks in 2 sits, they were just out of range.

Two areas had fair amounts of buck sign and one was very close to my house. Perhaps the standing corn was part of it and the wet swamps. Where we killed our two bucks did not have much buck sign, but is a funnel location.

Arcus and my dad hunted 3 hours and could have shot 4 different bucks.

3 with bow, 1 with shotgun
Around 15 hours of stand time with bow, and 35+ with shotgun

About 60 hours on stand during the rut with a bow so far. About 6 bucks I could have shot at. Slowest year I've had during the rut on my land.

I would say 35 so far since rifle started over the 100" mark.

I did see 5 different spikes in one sitting. I think that's a record for me. Lol
