So far this year I've been out a total of 6 times the first 3 times I didn't see a deer but they were only short sit's the next 2 times out I saw 3 bucks one time (one of which I shot)and 2 bucks the next and the last time out I went to an old spot I used to hunt alot and didn't see one deer while in stand but I did get to listen to a girls high school soccer game and I saw a hiker with her dog and 2 four wheelers.......I'm not going back to that spot until I can hunt it in the morning or there's a bunch or snow on the ground.
