Well I am sure most can relate and it seems we dont talk much about the side of hunting that doesnt always work out like we want it too..

I was all pumped up yesterday to go out and film in one of my favorite past summer filmingareas. A low pressure system was moving in, bringing needed cool temps and rain in the AM. It was what seemed would be a perfect evening conditions for feeding. I showered, got dressed and hiked into a distant corner of an alfalfa field. The wind was great! I sat for 3hours in my observation standwith camera in hand...saw 4 deer, 2 does and two baby bucks right when I arrived, then nothing.....Then as primetime came, nothing showed, I mean nothing showed up...First time in 3 years using the same exact enterance and exit routes...Ihiked out in the dark a good 1/2 mile up over a mountain ...I'm still shaking my head this morning.. The wind was perfect etc.. just one of those nights I reckon.. :)

If nothing else I got some good exercise in.. moved a scouting camera and the skeeters were not too bad..

I can relate to that , theres been many times when I ventured into the woods for some scouting and came back out disappointed.
But like you said it was good exercise and it's always nice to out in the woods wheather you see anything or not.

Same thing happened to me last night, i got in my stand and waited and waited and nothing, absolutely nothing came, not even a squrriel or a bird. So after 2 hours of that i decided the misquitoes weretoo bad and with the neighbor running an escavator200 yards away i dedided it wasnt worth it.

Well thank you greenboy, I appreciate the support. I agree, I would have quit hunting a long time ago if I let myself get discouraged. Surprised last night..yup...discouraged..never...I guess my post was simply to say.. even when all the stars seem like they are aligned ...we still never know what may or may not show up..its nights like last night that get me wondering what the heck is up.. there is a fresh...newly planted this year...alfalfa field about 1/2 mile from where I was last night..bet you can guess where I will be this evening..;)

Unfortunatley in Central Pa where i live, thats a normal day, minus the seeing anything part, you gotta stay positive and hunt through it, when i killed my deer last year, i haddent seen anything in weeks. so i know how you are feeling.

Same thing happend to me a week ago...

We had a storm blow thru temps dropped, cloud cover... I would thought for sure to see tons of deer, only a few does and one 12" 1.5 yr old!

What is w/ that!

I went out the other day to check our food plots and jumped up about 7 nice size Turkeys,took a walk further down the field and down a old logging road and on the way back several Turkey's started to roost in the tree's about 75 yards away...didn't see any deer moving but it was fun just getting out!

We've been having several thunder storms here in Mo., and the deer have been moving a lot in the late evenings!

Welcome to my world boy, welcome to my world!

The last few evenings have been poor for buck sightings. Mornings on the other hand have been very good. This morning was great!!

We do have a few badoutings but usually something else to see so we have fun anyways.
