Here's your problem man. You're looking the wrong direction! J/K.
Chin up dude. I haven't got a deer yet with a bow after 2 years. And I can't hunt with a gun. I have seen plenty though. How does moving further into the woods help you for an afternnon hunt? I hunt the afternoons alot and the deer are in the deep timber already. I stay out of there and hunt their active trails leading out. I'm afraid if you go deeper into their day bedding area that you'll just spook them out the other side. Good luck.
KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL.
