This has by far been the worst year EVER for me in terms of getting out. I have not even been out once bowhunting yet.
Normally by now I'd have had 10 sits at least.
Went out yesterday to check on a few of my gun stands, clear some lanes and logging roads, etc. Found 1 small rub ... and a HUGE pile of fresh bear scat right near one of my stands. Didn't see any deer. We have a bumper crop of acorns here this year, hoping that won't hurt the movement too bad, haven't been seeing much lately. They certainly don't have to go anywhere to find food - its like walking on marbles.
M/L starts here in VA next weekend, I'll be out there hoping mr big walks by.
