Default Sit and wait, or not??

For the last 3 days, I have been in stand from sun up to sun down. People, I have not seen a single deer. I haven't hunted the same stand twice, the wind has been perfect, my approach to the stand is good, I even walk a longer distance to make the entry right. I have tracks, rubs, scrapes, you name it, I have deer sign everywhere. They have finally vaccumed the forest floor of most of the acorns, with the exception of one white oak. This tree just started dropping the other day, and the deer are tearing them up, at night I presume.

The down side here is the weather. It has been almost 80 here for a couple of days with high winds. I guess that's the problem. I am sure I don't do everything to perfection, I make mistakes I know, but I should still be seeing a deer here and there.

I know I can't kill one sitting on the couch, but hey.....I can't kill what I don't see either. What would you do, keep sitting, or try something else?
