Are you hunting Private land or on one of the WMA's? i have been hunting Percy all year long as I lost all my farms due to death, title passing, or the farm being sold. I saw deer on Percy until about the second week in December and I realized after that they are moving nocternaly. I did get a chance to hunt a private farm on December 30th and shot 2 does so they were moving there.

Haven't seen any deer here in West TN since around Thanksgiving. I'm hunting private land, but the neighborhood dogs are running them off here. Those are the only fresh tracks I've seen in a month.

Out of the 4 of us that are hunting together here in middle,Tn we have seen one deer since Thanksgiving. We killed 2 bucks and a doe on Thanksgiving. It's like they just disappeared off the face of the earth over night. Were hunting public and private land. I think they have just went nocturnal and stay bedded down most of the time during the day.

Don't hunt middle TN but do hunt east tn and was seeing deer all season long.Matter of fact I had 7 does in the field I was hunting wednesday evening,last day of the season.Harvest numbers are down yet again in TN due to the EHD outbreak last year.I'd expect a rebound next season,this year was sort of a rebuilding year.On the bright note,i've seen more deer this year and harvested more deer than any other year before.I hunt unit B.Private land too.

Deer change their pattern and you got to change with them

Yea same thing happened here. But our seasons over and guess what. Now I see all the deer in my county at times that I would be hunting. It sucks, but that hunting for you.
