Mich and Ohio have been hoit with some strange warm weather deer have changed up alot. Not feeding like they were just a week ago. Moving has slowed big time also.

nvrhappy,

Didn't read all the responses, but deer patterns shift a lot during the year and hunting season.
Sometimes they are bedding in some secure area browsing on all the new growth plants, other times
they are hitting acorns. If they've been in your area before they will probably come back (unless
you are putting too much pressure on them).

yea the hunting property is a weekend getaway its 3 hours away from where i live so i dont think i pressure the area to much

The only way people in Texas know how to hunt is over bait isn't it????? All those feeders and seeded dirt roads are there for one reason.
