Default What to do when no deer move?

What do some of you guys suggest when nothing in the woods seems alive on late winter blue bird days. It seemed my area was torn up with fresh tracks every morning but for 4 days I didn't see but 10 deer total. Even squirrels and predators were absent. The weather was frosty in the am and no more than 50 in the days but the sun was bright.

Sooner I go out in the woods and call &quot; here deer, deer, deer,... here deer, deer, deer&quot; This usally gets them running just not towards me<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Walk 25-50 yards slowly then stay put for about 10-15 minutes. Deer are curious and will look at what is making the noise. The important part is to stay quiet during the 10-15 minutes if you have two people you both can work from opposite ends of the woods use frs radios and chances are you might kick a few up for each other.
