I'm still very surprised I didn't see anything. All I can come up with is that I was out too late and they were already bedded down for this upcoming storm.
I had thought about trying to get out this afternoon, but they're saying for us the worst of the snow will be this afternoon with blizzard conditions. I don't think sitting in a stand would be very successful, and it's too early in the season to go tromping around the woods and risk blowing everything out of there. I try real hard to avoid going back there between firearms season and ML season so the deer can be undisturbed. I won't go walking back there too much until the last day or two that I'll be able to hunt during the season. Don't know if it works or not, but it's what I do.
