Regroup, reevalute what you' re doing and come up with a plan. Perhaps you should have spent a few of those 40 hours at first and last light scoping out some fields to find some patterns. It' s not how many hours you spend in a tree, it' s how wisely you spend the time you have. If it isn' t working, don' t do it. Not trying to be a smart a--, but Virginia has a good deer herd. You' re in the wrong place or doing it wrong. There, now you can be mad instead of jealous and petty.[:-][&:] In early season I feel it accomplishes little to sit and sit and sit. The deer feed all night and find a hole in the daytime. Do some scouting and find the missing pieces. Of course, now we' re fixing to have a change of the game plan. In another week or so they' ll be roaming all day. Even still, the first and last few hours of daylight will be your best bet. Find some bottlenecks with lots of does and the bucks will be there.
