I've been hunting d3-5 and d6 HARD in the Sierra mountains. It's my first year hunting in California and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or if I am just straight unlucky. Over the past 2 weeks I have found / spotted 18 deer, 0 of the 18 were legal bucks! Do bucks just eat at night so I never see them?? Or is there an extreme poor buck to doe ratio. Anyways, I've covered a wide variety of altitude (4000-10000ft), and a variety of terrane glassing, still hunting ect. Has anyone else had a similar experience this year? Or have any advice for me?
