I'v seen alot of does but no bucks & most of the does were small. Had 2 come in opening day & didnt shoot cuz they were small & the bigger of the two ended up busting me. I think she told all the other deer too because nuthings coming by that stand anymore. I'v been out probably 10 afternoons now & didnt get one till last thursday even though I see them almost evey time out. I tricked one last week with the climber so got meat anyway. I'm going to try taking a week off from that spot. Hell I got till Jan 30.
Still stinks tho if my previous hotspots shot for the season. That stands on the edge of a swamp with a ledge running along it only 8 to 10 feet away. The deer were coming thru there like it was a highway before. Now they seem to be gong around the house & coming in from the other side.
It is great just to be out there tho & seeing all these does I think things will start hopping in a few weeks or so.
Gotta be patient.
