We have had a great season so far in Western New York. I got a spike and a doe opening day. My dad took a doe, and my buddy also took6 point and a doe. Just last week I missed a six point and my other friend took a 5 point and a doe. I really haven't seen many other hunters out, but I'm sure not gonna complain about that! The deer are there you just have to figure out there patterns and daily activites, like what TJ said, try and find where their staging areas are. You can't always rely on hunter to push deer to you. Sorry for the bad luck tho, hope the second half of the season turns out better for you.
