Hi,
I have hit that discouraged point where I've spent multiple hours sitting in trees squirrel watching. I haven't seen even a doe in about 20 hours of hunting in 3 different locations. i did see a headless deer (spotlight victim) near to where I park

So I'm mostly hunting hardwoods near the ridge line which has been very succesful for me in the past. But not at all this year.

So what is the experience of others? are deer staying low near the fields due to the lack of mast?

thanks,
