It seems like I get more of that in the "Big Woods" areas than if I hunt clearcuts and logged areas where there is a variety of food. Never-the-less, when it happens, it gives me the willies.

The next day after hunting and the dead calm effect it rained all day and night then snowed today. Not much about 1/2 inch or so but big difference in weather from 38 to 40 degrees to this.

I was hunting a 3,000 acer peice of land in Macksberg, Ohio, A lot of deer are there and I did see about 12 other hunters that day all a good 1/4 to a mile away from me looking off a big hill. It ws first day gun season in Ohio so everyone had hunter orange on and easy to see them. Most we still hunting and moving slow but did not push anything out. It is the lack of any other animals or birds that is so strange. Woods are dead and very quit.I did try 3 differnt sections that day and nothing was moving not even a mouse.

I beleive just leaving the woods and going home is the best bet for that day. What do you men/women do?

That was last Sunday for me. Nothing at all.

Been like that most of the season in this part of the state this year.  It's weird.

Thats the description of the woods shortly after the opening day of firearms season here in Michigan.

Even the normally friendly and curious Chickadees seem to dissappear.

Yes it happens often.  Seems to me to be with the weather.
