Don' t know what your problem may be. I saw 12 deer openin' day of muzzle-loadin' (3 bucks and 9 does). Deer are really moving here. maybe your in the wrong spot. What is your scent elimination program like? Are you huntin' with the wind in you favor? How high do you Hunt? Are you spooking deer along your travel route to and from your stands? Happy Huntin'
