Default RE: cant find the deer!!!

In my experience, your question about how to get more deer to your stand might be your issue. I use game cameras to find out where the deer are, and that is where I put my stand. I use corn to get the deer already in the area to stop so I can get a shot. With or without game cameras, scouting is the key. I have a few semi-permanent stands, but I mostly hunt from climbers or "pop up" ground blinds. When I find an area with alot of deer activity, I will put out my camera and see what is in the area, and then I might move a blind to hunt the area. I hunt a 600 acre tract basically by myself (my sons hunt with me)within 4 wheeler ride from my house so I have the ability to check my cameras daily.I scout year around andhunt almost every day during season so the law of averages is in my favor, but YOU moving to the deer is a better plan than trying draw deer to you.
