Default the woods just seem dead!

I dont know if its just me but in the last few days i have had NO luck. When only a week ago i was seeing bucks every time out. I dont no if ispossibly the full moon or what but even the squirrles and other animals seem slugish. I cant believe that their in lockdown already but i dont no.Has anybody in the midwest had similar luck in the last few days?

Same for me here in west central Illinois. Killed a doe 2 weeks ago and have only seen 2 deer since.

Went today and I only saw 3 squirrilsand 5 turkeys during my 9 hours on the stand. I don't know what the deal is right now on my farm. On the way home though I saw 2 nice bucks and several does feeding in some fields.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't seeing any deer right now. Last night and this morning I saw nothing, tonight I got busted by 4 does that came into my food plot and that's it.

I'm hoping to see a lot more activity next weekend.

Hunted Maryland this morning and saw one small buck around 8:30. Last time in the stand (October 19), I saw 8 does (2 may have been repeats).

Was out tonight with my father in law and I only saw two very small does with zero bucks within range. I agree.....nothing seemed to be doing anything!
