Maybe you can try a small drive and see how many & what you push out of the woods.

10 days in a row the deer have patterened you. Give it a break at this location. I usually have 3 or 4 stands which I hunt according to wind direction, deer activity. I don' t hunt any stand more than 3 days in a row. Too much activity in an area can make them nocturnal. Nix on the stalking near your stand, too much activity.

A quick story.....I took an Eight pointer in 1998. I didn' t take another deer until 2001. That one was a doe. In 2002, I didn' t even fire a shot. That is 2 deer in five years. I went every chance I got during those years and seen a few deer but never one that I could take home with me. I recall one week when I hunted in sleet and rain the only thing that I saw was tracks where a deer had walked in front of my truck one morning while I was freezing.

2003...I have tied that in just 3 weeks. Another 8 pointer and a doe. I may not get another one this year but I think luck is with me this year. The Lord has always been with me I was just to dumb to see it.

What' s my point? I didn' t give up. I got frustrated but I didn' t give up. Now when things are slow I just sit in the stand and thank God for all the blessing in my life. I also thank him for the oppurtunity to hunt.

Last year I took an out of state trip to hunt with a friend and still didn' t see anything to shoot.

Just don' t give up and you will be posting pics on this board too. Especially hunting in up there.

Good Hunting
