guys the rut is in full swing right now. thats why your not seeing a lot of activity. the bigger bucks are with a hot doe and she is spending most of her time laying down. yo, you'd be laying down too if every time you stood up a buck tried to jump your bones.. last week was pre-rut,,bucks were cruising looking for the ladies { saw bucks all all} , now is full rut and mostly seeing small bucks and fawns. never fear,it will get better again soon

I am up in northern NJ...Morris county. I had a great October seeing bucks...but did not shoot because they were either too far away or not enough points (zone 6 antler restrictions).

However, November has been terrible. I've only seen 1 deer in November. A lone 6 pointer at 40 plus yards last Thursday. I've been hunting just about every morning before work.
