[QUOTE="KoolBreeze, post: 1180298, member: 95329"] It all depends on your goal of the hunt. If I'm meat hunting, I'll usually take the first legal deer that I see, especially if it's in the morning. That way I usually have enough time to tend to that one and return to a stand for a evening hunt if I want to. Later in the season, when the freezer is full, I get more selective and will sometimes have deer all around me and will shoot nothing. This past season while on a stand, a small 6 point buck came within 50 yards on me, grazed for a bit and then bedded down right in the front of me. After a while, he got up, grazed some more and then bedded back down. He probably spent a total of 3 hours within 75 yards of me in full view the entire time. During that time other does came into the same general area and at one point I counted 7 deer in view at once. That was the best hunt I had all year and I didn't fire a shot. For me a successful hunt doesn't always mean taking game. I enjoy being out there more than anything else. [/QUOTE]
