sometimes it takes many seasons of hunting to figure it all out that's the way it is most of the time. what type of area are you hunting? timber ? field ? combo of both? try to find some good trails and just sit in some area that you think looks good if you can't find rubs or scrapes and over time you will have to readjust depending on whats going on. also do you have acorns on the property or apples ? what state are you in ? btw scumbags stole your stuff that's pathetic !
