RE: where did all the deer go????????
How often are you hunting the area?
Maybe your pressure made them find a different area. Sometimes it don't take that much at the wrong time. Or the repeated "jumping" of deer out of beding areas.
I a 10 acer woods behind my house that I have taken some huge bucks out of over the years ,I hunt it only when the wind is perfict and then only 1 or 2 times a week.
Has the area around your spot changed ?
Corn feild nere another woods ?
How about pressure form neibors ?
Change in cover or timber cuting?
Farm practices changed ? like crops feilds going to pasture
Any new fences?
Has some one started feeding the deer in an other area?
Just some things to think about
