How many hunts did you go on this year?

60 for me. Curious as to everybody else.

guess... 20 sits probably

8 sits for me.

Probably about 25. That's pretty hardcore for me.

Counting morning and afternoon hunts, I probably sat in a treestand 20 times. Not nearly as much as I would like to.

Maybe 3 without kids. Hard to enjoy deer hunting around here these days. Don’t see that changing anytime soon.

More than I probably should have..😁

Dr. B

Over 60 for sure but most were for hour or less

A lot.

A lot , tagged out though. It is nice being retired. I had just about quit hunting. But, started back I am going to
Try and do some work on our land this year and see if I can get it to bring in some more deer.

2 solo sits for me. About 10 with the kids maybe. Least I’ve ever sat in a season. Will Probly go less next year.

Maybe 12 total..

Trying to remember, but honestly I think I only had 4 sits...

We bought a house, moved, and started a new job. I hope next year will be different. At least I shot a deer. I enjoy having the meat, I don't live off it, but I like having it.

Too

Probably between 30-40

5 to 6 sits, November-December...
Probably 20-25 sits in January/early Feb

Right at 60 sits for me too

A lot for me...probably 50 or better

Probably 40-45 days total morning and evening sits.

Did not deer hunt this year at all.
I did at my best recall was 12 "sets" with my new FoxPro Inferno.(avg. 45-50 minutes ea.)
I have called up exactly (1) Hawk.
Spent 3 days hunting Javelina near Deming, NM. Lots of sign, no luck. Saw a couple really nice Muley bucks.
Got a little more predator calling to do before giving up .
And I'm about to embark on a quest to kill a mature, big, nasty long tuskered boar
hog with my bow.
Oh, and fishing, don't forget those Redeyes, Shellcrackers and Bluegills.
Did I mention I LOVE to hunt and fish?

Probably 60-65 sits for me.

60 or so. Around 40 all day sits and 20 morning hunts. Wife says I have "issues"

No idea. A lot of it was an hour before work, an hour after work.
3 of the 4 I shot were weekdays.

I only hunted 1 afternoon during bow season but hunted every weekend after gun season opened including 9 days of the 2 weeks I was off at Christmas/New Years.

Hunted less this year than any in the past 10 years. I might have gotten 9 or 10 half day or less sits in.

Sat 3 times I think. Small kids and no wife at home I have a few times just thought about quitting hunting/feeding/planting for critters all together. Don't know what else to do that I give a rip about as a hobby.

I’m probably around this.

Count the number of days from 1st day of muzzle loader season until today and subtract 8 or 10, that will give you my number of days hunted. I don't feel the least bit guilty. Killed 0 deer, probably could've killed 50. There was only 1 that mattered, saw him 3 times but couldn't close the deal. He was still on the go about 10 days ago, hope he made it. I've got plenty of pictures of him to look at until next year, he's a goodun, probably go about 150"

I had been hunting 50-60, but moved to Orlando first weekend in November.

I think I sat 15 or 16 hunts. Got 2 bucks on the ground by January 1st and didn't go any more after that. Great season!

65 sits for me and enjoyed every minute of it

hunted way less this year, probably 25-30 times a morning here, an afternoon there. maybe 10-12 morning and afternoon hunts on weekends

Deer, from the beginning of bow season in Texas to the end of deer season in Bama, subtract maybe 15 days. Hogs and yotes the rest of the year. I left Bama early afternoon and I’m in a hotel room in Vicksburg.

14 sits. 4 Kills

Probably 50-60. Caught hundreds of fish first month or so of season, I think ill do that again next year.

around 50

35 sits and killed 6 deer.

4. Real hunting season starts in about 6 weeks

Blessed to be able to go for an hour or two after work most days. I’d guess easily over 100. Killed 3 bucks and 6 does. Saw a few hundred deer. Had around 65 in one 10 acre field one evening. Freezer is full. Throw in my 8 day Elk hunt in early October and it was easily my best hunting season ever.

Bout 12

50 days

Or 3.5 weeks for some of us

Well over 60 days spent in the woods
If ur talking morning and afternoon seperate over a 100

10

27 sits. Only 2 sits during bow season. 3 sits opening weekend of gun season. The rest of my hunts where from January 4th- January 27th. That is definitely the least amount of sits I’ve had in a season. But I think that’s the way to do it. The 2 sits I had in bow season where horrible and miserable. Opening weekend of gun season this year was the worst one I have ever experienced as far as deer sightings go. January sightings where a little better but not like they normally are. I do think next season I will not hunt before January unless there is a cold front coming through. It’s not fun not seeing any deer and sweating

I sat 10 times this year and the good lord blessed me with 2 old bucks and a couple does despite seeing less deer this season than I’ve seen the last 6 years I’ve hunted this property.

30-35. Most I have hunted in 5-6 years. All but 3 were with my son. Great season.

13 sits.


10 years ago I broke 100 sits. Times have changed.

Well over 100 in 5 states

9 total days in the woods. Most were either a morning or evening hunt but had 2 full days.

8-10

43 days, best I can count based on memory and looking at a calender

8-10 I started loosing interest a couple of years ago and it just hasn’t come back. Maybe next year.

30-35 sits between the middle of October through End of December. . Tagged out Christmas morning on bucks.

5 sits

Maybe 50 sits over about 30 days.

5 - 6 All afternoon hunts

2 hunts in Illinois and 5 hunts in Alabama.

56. All over the state

You can sure kill a hog just about anywhere in south baldwin county.

I keep notes of each hunt and I just counted them. I went 18 afternoons this year. I just can't get after them like I used to.

I saw 73 does and 24 bucks for an average of seeing 5.39 deer per hunt.

Broke my elbow the weekend before bow season. So that kicked me in the ass the first 8 weeks of the season. I hunted about 6 times this year. Normally id have about 20-25 sits in a season

About a dozen sits saw deer every time and killed a 130" 9pt the first time I went. 6-8 years ago I wouldn't have missed a day if I could get out of work in time. Now I enjoy chasing a 2.5 year old young'n around more than I do sittin in a deer stand. Turkey huntin will be a different story though!

I hunted 30 days with 34 sets. Killed one buck and two doe with my bow. I keep up with hunter frequency at the club I operate and always find it interesting to review the data each year. As a club we had 433 sets during the season. Our most frequent member hunted 52 days with 70 sets, which was more than our bottom 7 members combined. We actually had two members that did not hunt a single day. As a result of keeping up with the hunts, I limited number of days that could be hunted each week to 4 days. Next year, likely going down to 3 to keep the pressure down.

Out of curiosity how many members hunted 4+ days a week? How many 4+ weeks (single member) total for the club? I would imagine folks like to take vacation and make it a 4 day weekend.

Hunted a total of 34 times this season. Most of that was in bow season and early rifle. I hunted a total of 3 days in January and February combined. Saw 209 deer in those 34 sets. That averages out to just over 6 deer/sit. Not bad at all. Several of those were with my boys.

Hunted about 40 days, some hunts just an hr or so. Saw close to 120 deer all season. Had the opportunity to take 2 does and 1 decent 8. Glad to get some rest before the start of turkey season

Probably 40 - only hunt gun season. I wasn't able to spend the night at camp as much as I usually can, so I did a lot of driving to get that done.

Not sure on a total but after Christmas I tracked and/or hunted every day but two or three

I think I did around 80 sits. I killed what I consider a giant on January 5th and just went and watched most days after that.

I'm thinking less than 15 but managed to get 3

Way to many. I was almost burnt out by the end of January.

Not sure but, I'm still hunting. March 15th goose ends...
I started with elk in August, moved to deer in Oct. Then, back to elk (LOP/damage Tags). Ducks and geese as well

Probably 10 or so. Got 4

I sat a total of probably 20 times and saw deer every time except the 3 times i hunted my "big buck" spot. I didn't see anything but a fox there. Still never connected until the last day of the season. Got my first bow kill with a small doe, but i was proud after getting shafted so many times all season!

I didn't bother to count. I'd estimate 30 sits give or take.

40 PLUS

Maybe 10-12 but I’m not counting the front porch buck. 😁

5 an all time low for me!!! Family illness kept me home this year.

30-40

14 I think

ZERO- difficult year

20-25
