I thought aliens had sucked up every deer on our property. I hunted all the usual spots where the acorns fall and the deer travel to and from bedding areas and I was seeing zippo. I hunted 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday and saw a grand total of 1 deer. My cousin's kid comes down after school climbs a tree and sees 7 different bucks and a bunch of does. Arrows an 8 pointer with a 16" spread. He was hunting near a dried up duck pond where something was growing that the deer loved. If you have an alternate food source nearby that may have just sprouted up, I would definitely check into it. Where there is food there are does, where there are does there are bucks.
