add me to the list of opening day flops. didnt see a deer until 5:45 a doe. there were a couple doe in the fields. no bucks. the lack of deer and especially bucks in new for me on 4 years on this property. on sunt morning i did see three bucks. however 35 mph swirling winds tipped off the group. one nice 8 point. only bucks ive seen and they werent close ,50 yrds. i have always kept track of the buck to doe ration on this property and this summer it was basically 1:1. last year was actually about 1.5 bucks per doe. id dont know where the deer are. ive hunted twice without even seeing a deer. id like to attribute it to the wether but last year i had good success in poor weather. oh well im just thankful the good lord gives me lots of time to hunt. i suppose i shouldnt complain. i think im more surprised than anything about the lack of deer.

good luck
