Going to give this place one more try this evening. Hopefully we'll have some luck.
On a plus note, we've been hunting some small acreages and have seen quite a few deer around where we hunt, just nothing on where we have permission.

Today was a really great day as far as people kindness. We were going to some public hunting land and stopped on the road to watch a deer herd on some private land. Another vehicle parked in front of us watching. There was a monster mule deer buck in there with about 15 does he was keeping together. Figuring the vehicle in front of us was another bunch of hunters without permission. I stopped and said: "This sucks, only deer in the county that aren't jumpy and are nice looking just sitting there mocking us." He said: "Not really, this is my ranch. We have a guy on the other side and we're trying to decide to let this buck grow another year, we got bigger deer in there" After I picked up my jaw. I told him well we just have doe only permits and haven't had much luck seeing anything. He told us, if you don't have anything by this weekend stop by and I'll guarantee you a doe.

Season is suddenly looking much more optimistic.
