But is that normal? It's all subjective. I can count on one hand how many times in a season I don't see a deer. It sure isn't because I'm a great hunter. Just decent property I hunt by myself. Every season seems the same to me. No good ones. No bad ones. I listen to people and initiate the good season/bad season conversation alot. It seems through the years the majority of hunters fall into 1 category. That category is they work 5 days a week and are in a hunting club or hunt public land. So if those hunters weekends get into a hot rainy weather pattern coupled with hunting pressure it is gonna equal a bad season. So a bad season for most is just bad luck that's mostly out of their control.
