RE: missing deer
Well then I'd take the first couple days of each week you are there and scout/hunt. Cover as much ground as possible (depending on how much you have access to) and see where the hot sign is. Then plan your hunts accordingly. Also keep tabs on these areas from one year to the next, if you see the same thing every year, you can probably stop having to check that spot each time and you can hunt sooner. When hunting continuously woodedareas look forterrain features that might force deer to use an area more often than others. Ridges, dips, saddles, creek bottoms, etc.
