RE: THATS IT!!!!!!!!!! I give up!!!!!!! WHY ME?
Look at it this way, things can' t get worse!
We' re comming off a full moon phase and the deer might have gone nocturnal for the time being. I' d try scouting some of the trails leading to and from that tree. Look for some bedding sites or new food sources..... also deer in my area seem to change there travel lanes alot.
Keep at it and eventually things will improve.
