RE: How long have you gone without a deer?
I've gone 13 days without getting a deer. It's been rough. hehe.
Actually, I wonder if my true bad streak can be beat. I went my first 4 years without seeing a single deer. that was rough. That was in the big woods after some harsh winters. There weren't many deer to be seen.
Keep your head up and your eyes open. Sounds like you are doing everything right.
