Most consecutive hunts without a deer sighting?
I'm still 0 for "the season" when it comes to deer sightings.
What's your record for most consecutive outings without at least seeing a deer?
And what state was this is in?
What part of the season?
For Example:
6 hunts - Southern Michigan - Early October.

RE: Most consecutive hunts without a deer sighting?
I saw two during opening day, over a week ago. Hunted tues, wed and thurs last week and did not see a deer before 9pm. Moon was backwards. Also had a farm hand ride by the blind on a bulldozer at 545, and the next day the farmer came down the new path I had put my stand on spraying round up from the ATV at 6pm.... what rotten luck. But so it goes sometimes, when you hunt property that others depend on to make a living, you can't get too upset about that sort of stuff, and both times they were VERY appologetic. I know they don't do that sort of stuff intentionally.
There are always times when it seems like the deer have just vanished. All I can say is don't panic. You know what you are doing, and you have done it before. You just have to sit it out. Patience is the name of the game. Honestly, the fewer deer I see, the harder I hunt... the earlier I go out, and the longer I sit... the more careful I become... it usually ends up working out for me.

I'm on 4 so far. I did bump 2 deer going into an afternoon stand and this past Saturday my buddy had 4 walk by out of range and we were only about 100 yards apart. For some reason early season is always like this for me.

Not counting ones seen in the car on the way to my hunting area I went from day 1 of last season to just last weekend without seeing deer. Opening day last season I saw 2 and then no more. Last weekend I saw 7 while in my stand so I think my dry spell is over.

RE: Most consecutive hunts without a deer sighting?
For me it depends more on where I am hunting. In SE. KY. where I live I don't see deer very often so I can have a long dry spell hunting around home. In W. Ky. if I go more than 2 sits in my stand I'm scouting and more than likely moving stand locations.
