Good luck finding thoose deer. I'm still trying to fill an Iowa doe tag, but my deer have disappeared. I'm hunting an area where before gun season, I always saw deer, but nothing since bow season opened back up. Glad I got my buck and a Bremer county doe before the shotgunners came out to play. I believe they really bunch up this time of the year. December 31st, 1999 I filled my tag when 15 deer were under my tree. I won't quit!!!!! I think a little snow would make it easier to figure out where they went. I think you should just sit in a good place and wait, no rut scents or calling. Jim
