Shut out again! Still waiting to see a deer.
 

5 Hunts. 5 different stands on 3 different properties. Over 20 hours spent in the woods this year. And still not one sighting of a deer.....

Think I can go all of October and not see one? I do!

I know there's deer there. I've killed plenty in both places. I'm doing all the right things as far as scent control, playing the wind, and stand approach. I'm not over-calling or anything like that either. In one of the properties the problem is just too many hunters (although they claim to be seeing deer).

It'll happen. I think it's a combination of the weather, hunting pressure, and just bad luck. Last year my work schedule allowed me to hunt mostly in the mornings during the week. This year I can only do evenings and weekends. That's why I'm seeing so many more hunters.

We have a three month bow season so there's plenty of time left. And the best is yet to come. I just need all the patience I can muster right now.

Try staying awake on the stand next time.:D The deer resemble an over grown dog in most cases just incase you have forgotten.

That's the truth. Sounds like you just might be building yourself up for a missed shot. It will come and when it does stay calm and follow through.
Just my 2 cents.

Somethings going on. My chickens aren't laying eggs. Others have mentioned the same thing. Somethings going to break soon.
