Phis, it sounds like the buck-to-doe ratio might be out of whack. As long as there are more does than bucks, the bucks will not respond very agressively to scents, rattling, etc.

Something to think about. Besides, it sounds like you are at least seeing deer. The only land I have to hunt on isn' t ideal. I' ve been on stand a total of 30 hours (probably not a lot, but new wife, job etc) and I' ve seen one young doe.

I' m beggining to lose the adrenaline rush from hearing squirrels!
