Default Whats the Deal?

Michigan opener today for gun and it was odd. I sat in a spot just 40 yards from where i bow hunt and there are two fresh scrapes!! Every night i see deer in my stand bowhunting and ive shot one doe and missed one buck. Ive only been out one night and didnt see a thing!! Today was my second.. Not only did i not see anything i didn't hear much shots around me like i usually do on opening morning here in Michigan as it sounds like fireworks are going off. Anyone else from Michigan have and luck today?

It's like those deer know lol[:@]

Sparrowhawk, same thing here i didn't hardly hear any shots like it used to be in previous years.....the past years i would see about 5-6 deer a day at my feeder, neighbors would have about a dozen, and this year i didn't see a thing, not hardly any sings, neighbors get 1 to 2 every couple of days...i live in mid migigan area, so we went to stateland tongiht....we seen one doe....that was it...wonder if the weather had part of it...since the weather sucked today...lol...but anyways....i feel the same...something is up....
