I think your location, having less population in general, helps sustain high deer numbers. I can't imagine you could come to GMU 530 and see more than just 3 - 5 does per day in a cut - and that would be a stellar day for me. Good on you for having the patience for hunting with your eyes in the glass all day. No way I can do that. Perhaps if I was seeing 15 - 20 deer per day it would be easier.It took me a long time to get the patience to do it but it has paid off big time...granted we do have alot of downtimes and can be hard with my kids along but we make it work...my spot is about grown up...maybe one year left unfortunately...I've already started venturing out looking for a new honey hole...it took me a long time to find this place and not looking forward to leaving it...and to be honest there's alot of people out here but most don't know how to hunt it...by that I mean have the patience to pick apart the cut or reprod patch that your glassing....try the grid pattern and look for bits and pieces of the deer instead of the whole deer and you'll see more

I'll sit and glass a spot all day long. My first mission is just finding 1 doe. Once I do that , I just keep an eye on her. I love it when a doe whips her head around at attention giving up the location of a buck either getting up out his bed, or comming into the cut. Another reason I like to stay put all day, at least early in the season, is that I know I'm the only person that's been there all day.
