Am I doing something wrong?
This is my second year hunting and second year hunting on the same property. Last year I saw around 6 deer within shooting distance of my tree stand.
This year I am hunting out of a blind lifted up 6ft. Not the prettiest setup but I'm covered and in the air.
My problem is this: I had a trail camera up that is about 100 yards east of my blind and before I setup my blind, I checked my cam and I had a few deer on it. But ever since I put up my stand, I haven't seen anything nor has my cam.
I'm on private property, nobody hunts here except for me, and I make sure that I take all of the necessary steps before and after hunting like using non-scent items (body wash, shampoo, deodorant, spray) and I enter my blind quietly and exit my blind quietly.
Last year, all the deer I saw came from the east (where my trail cam is).
Could I be doing something wrong? Please let me know. I still consider myself a beginner.
