hello guys i have a very serious question here. I am a bowhunter from Ohio and in the early season i was seeing does almost every time i went out. well in the last couple of the weeks i havent seen anything and i was wondering if A. it could be because my stand is in the same location or B. we have been sighting in our rifles for our Missouri hunt about 200 yards from my stand. Also i havent been able to find any buck sighn just a lot of does dose this mean there are no bucks in the aarea thanx please help

I would guess C - both A and B

it is very easy to kill a stand by hunting it to often. I rarely hunt a stand more than once a week, unless it is real hot. Your deer sightings will go up 10 fold if you have many stands set up and alternate there use.

Shooting guns just 200 yds from a stand doesn't help any either.

Do some quick scouting and find a few other trees.

As the seasons change so do the habits of the deer. They start fanning out and utilizing new food sorces and bedding areas but they usually still remain in thier core areas. They start to get nocturnal and will seek out thicker places to spend the day. It all gets harder as the season progresses.

if you have does you will have bucks! and yes the shooting probably is not making the situation any better.
