that can cause you angst for sure. Sometimesin New York, will have a heavy acorn mast, virtually every oak is dropping them. Until they get cleaned up, deer tend to scatter every where. Best to try to hunt them going to and leaving the bed room. I hate doing that myself as I don't want them knowing I'm around. I save that sanctuary for the pre rut and rut. Be patient, they will show up, it's just a transition period............ DFA

This will make you feel better. I've had as many as my first 8 hunts go by before a single deer sighting early season. This is in a woods that will average 6-8 deer per sit later in the season. This is also a woods in which we PASS 140" deer. Lots of big bucks.

The weather has been too warm for the deer to move during light hours. A few more days of these cold temps and they will start preparing for rut/winter.
