RE: help!
Check to see what the mast crop is like this yr in your area. If it is a good harvest this yr you may not see any deer till the supply runs low. I would recommend walking around for a day in the direction you usually see the deer appear. Another thing that may have happened is a logging road or trail that the deer are now following which takes them out of your area and into another. If either of these is the case, then you must move appropriately. Or just feel content on seeing the few deer that you are seeing. The choice is yours. I personally have never hunted over bait, however, I have seen deer change their routes of travel on these conditions. I hope this helps and good luck.
