I had hunted 9 times here in Ark., without seeing a deer. But on the 9th trip, I saw 3 doe and killed one. But this weekend, in 4 trips to the woods(morning and evening) I saw 11 deer, one was a nice buck that was running doe and I couldn' t get a shot. So now, in 13 trips to the woods, I' ve seen 14 deer. So hang in there, it will even out.. Usually around here, when people say there are no deer, there is usually alot of acorns and that is where they are.
