WELL I'm 0 for 10.
 

Yes, My7pointmonster is 0 for 10. I think its Karma coming back to get me. Either that or I have no explanation for what events have taken place. Ten hunts Still have yet to see a Deer while on stand. Its not like I'm hunting bad spots. I'd sit any one of my friends in any of these spots because they're just as good as the other ones I hunt. I'm at a loss for words to be honest.:sad0064:

ITs alright brother. dont get too bent outta shape. Last year I didnt see a deer until my 8th sit... You will see deer this season as long as your out there. Just dont give up.

Dang! Not to rub it in, but I've seen deer and coulda killed a deer every hunt I've went on so far. Most being small bucks, but I let those guys walk. Don't worry though; you'll start seeing them. It happens to us all from time to time.

Hang in there! You will start seeing them soon

Last year I didn't see a deer until the 6th day, NOTHING at all for 6 days. A grouse was all I saw and I couldn't even get a shot at that, lol. This buck stepped out at 40 plus yards. I'm thinking, I have practiced this shot, I let it fly. I got him. That was the only deer I saw the hole entire deer season, including gun, I saw nothing at all during gun season. I was shut out for the first time in 15 years for gun season. Glad I picked my bow back up or I would have been deer-less last year. They will come, you just need to make sure your there when they decide to move.
Are you sitting all day? or just morning and evenings? Maybe its in the middle of the after noon when there moving around.

I have yet to see a deer on stand as well with 4 days hunted. Hang in there man the action is bound to pick up...

Well, Every minute you sit your odds are going up that your about to see a deer. Hang in there. It's about to happen.

I'm having the same problem this year. I am sitting spots that have always produced sitings every time and this year nothing. I really can't explain it, I know the deer are there but their patterns have really changed this year.

im having the same problem I have ten sits with deer sited on only 2 of them

Thank god Im not the only one who hasnt seen much of anything this year! I have sat 11 times this year and I have seen deer only 5 of those times. There is plenty of sign around my stands, and I had plenty of pics over the summer, but they just dont seem to be moving, or they have changed patterns. I have been lucky and tagged an 8 point the second weekend, and fat doe last weekend, but it still sucks to not see anything most of the time. I console my self by saying the rut is right around the corner!

If it was easy, what fun would it be persuing these great animals? enjoy your time in the woods and stay positive, you will see deer.

i dont mean to put down...but for 8 or 10 sits and no deer either a) your really not in a good spot or b) you need to consider re-vising your scent control c) your kidding yourself and your land isn't that good.
w/ that bein said i hope things turn around.
i have sat proly 9 or 10 times this season. i average probably 3 or 4 deer a sit, and have seen as much as 10+ a sit

I am seeing some deer, but not many. I think the problem around here is that there is too much corn still in.

Same thing everywhere
 

I have been on vacation all week in Northwest Arkansas and have seen nothing but tree rats!! The area I hunt is the same as last year, but this time last year you couldn't get out there and see less than twenty a day, morning or night. I don't know what has changed their pattern so much, but I was so frustrated this morning I thought about selling my bow:mad: We have muzzeloader season starting here tomorrow morning with temps in the low 30's, so hopefully that will get them on their feet.

im in the same boat! seen 2 all season

the more time you put in, eventually, it will turn a corner, i saw minimal deer since i shot my doe on the PA opener...hopefully, this new found snow will be a good luck charm tonight and tomorrow

Each time out is closer to seeing one!

Hope things turn around for ya.

I have a couple very good spots & in 4 trips I saw 2 Does together over 100 yds away. I've been twice to the other & seen nothing-Tons of fresh tracks...
It will come around....

Same thing for me last year. One thing for sure is that every time you hunt a stand your chances go down. Keep trying new locations if you're not seeing deer. Its better to spend a little time in a hot spot than to spend a lot of time in a cold spot. Hang in there.

Also don't be afraid to take some time off during mid October and recharge mentally. You don't want to get burned out before the rut even starts!

I sat a couple spots over looking apple trees where I always saw deer in years past. I only saw one deer right at dark. I then moved into the oak trees where the acorns were dense. Bingo!! Last night I thought I was hunting in a deer park....deer were feeding heavy on the acorns.

Hang in there and good luck.
