At my old spot, I saw deer 98% of the time. Unfortunately, that land was posted this year and I didn't know about it until opening weekend. So I decided to try some public land. I love it on the public land......but I just can't seem to pattern these deer. I don't know if they are really smart or really dumb, but I have yet to see them do the same thing twice. I've actually only seen like 5 or so this year. At my old spot, I saw 5 within the first hour of hunting usually.
