David, I'm with you on this one. Seen all kinds of deer while scouting but, as soon as the season started, I didn't see a danged one of em!

Now, I'm a computer networker for the Oregon National Guard and I'll swear them suckers got some kind of modern technology that warns when the hunting dates come around! They pull a magic trick like you would see on the Vegas strip. Pooof, there gone.   :biglaugh:

In six days in the field so far:

1. Two bull moose and one black bear, all while holding a bow and no tag for any of them.  
2. No deer.

And then, in the last four days:

1. A mature doe in a big swamp below me.
2. An eight point buck, at a stream crossing, within bow range.

Each of these two latter events occurred while I was holding a dog -- and not holding a bow --  'cuz I was feeling sorry about neglecting the dog's needs lately.  

Did I mention that I had the drop on the buck?   And that "something" even noisier was following him to the crossing?   And that both of them eventually spotted me and went back into Maine, i.e., away from where I stood in NH, without a Maine tag to my name?     :banghead:

Not a one. Been out a dozen times and have yet to see a deer, rub or scrape. A few tracks, a couple piles of droppings and too many moose tracks.

I bunch in the cut corn fields, soy beans, 5 acre clover plot. Akerns EVERYWHERE. Shot a doe. Son shot a 115" 7 pt out of the clover on a wma youth hunt. Statewide youth hunt is this weekend and we are gonna wear'em out!! Looks like a lean year for the economy, better fill your freezers!!

Seen three nice bucks, several small bucks, no kiddin, probably 100 does over 15 days hunting in the stand. Thats not including the thirty or forty piling into the fields at dark every evening! Our limit is three does a day here. My two hunting age kids have killed 5-6 deer a season for the past three years, so it gives me the choice to be selective and fill the freezer.
