RE: Not seeing deer
I could just be you are missing them. My father and I hunt a couple of the same stands. I've seen deer most every time out and he's yet to see them. The deer in my area travel around in patterns. I can expect to see them 3-4 days in a row and then they seem to disapear for 4-5 days and then is see them again for 3-4 days in a row. Some time is just dumb luck and bad timing.
Hang in there tough. You luck has to change sometime.
I have a question about the scents you're useing. Are the just pee or are they rut time scent(estrous). Sometime I find if you're useing rut scent before the rut it will actually turn deer off. The bucks will be interested but estrous scents seem to have a bad effect on does.
