I have hunted 5 morning in a row and not the first deer have i seen! Thats not uncommon folks so don't worry. They seem to just cross the 65 acres but never bed up on it. Reason is there are higer timbered ridges right across the creek. They feel safe, its just a matter of time before one comes by me late or early and i am there waiting on it! My climbing stand is on the creek crossing but i am too fer away with my Bow. So soon as i get my 15' ladder stand out of layaway i will set up there.
