Even if you were in the stand doing jumping jacks with tap shoes on you would some time or another see a deer across the field or something.
maybe hes sleeping in the stand
but yeah I agree even in the worst places you see a deer...it may not be in range but you typically see something. I have gone a couple times and havent seen something while sitting IN the blind but I either bumped them out or they came in after dark. 40 acres is plenty to find a deer.
There also may be poaching around scaring the deer off. That happens a lot out here
