Ron, I think your dressing too warm and sitting in the sun. A fella has a hard time seeing deer when his eyes are closed.

The deer up here cranked up today ! Saw five bucks hit in the road today and a big guy standing in a cut corn feild with that glare in his eyes. My wife went to town this morning and another big one was standing like a statue in the yard of a hunting camp around the corner. If there is anyway you can hunt tommorrow I think it may be the best day of the season. Good Luck

Yes, they are foes, as well as does. Today was interesting. To hot for great movement but had a little action. Went north with the rifle this morning. Nothing happening there. Went to the range to check zero on one rifle I fell with coming off the mtn in WY. Still right on & checked my other rifle. Glad I did. It was shooting 10" high at 100yds. Went south with the bow for the afternoon/evening. Busted one going in @ 1:30. Got up the tree with my climber & a doe decoy about 30yds upwind of me. 4 pm I hear a deer in the pond behind me. 20 minutes later here comes the same little 6pt I passed the other day. He is standing 10 yards from me staring at the deke. About 5 minutes goes by & he turns to leave. I hit the bleat can & he spun right around to stare at the deke again. Not sure why I didn't shoot him but passed on him again. Saw 4 other deer but nothing else in range. He will not be as lucky Friday or after gun opens. Friday evening is it for me then the guns come out. Hunting with a pistol this year. Good luck to all.

Fred, you are not alone......your not seeing many, I'm not seeing any! Frustrating is a gross understatement!

Guy's I hunted many days in a row and saw no deer but other days I saw plenty. They just seemed to be in different areas this year. Areas with standing corn seemed to be the best.

They can't even grow corn where you hunt Ron ? That is a sad state of affairs for sure. I haven't seen any turkeys either come to think of it , hhhmmm may be something to that.

Guru & Ron, well at least I'm in good company. Had plenty of turkey, deer and even a couple of coyotes on the trail cams prior to the season but since opening day the deer have been scarce and the turkey seem to have vanished. Nothing on the property I hunt has changed so I've been chalking it up to the warm weather for the lack of movement and the lack of sign.

You"re not the only ones! Since I got laid off I've been hunting almost every day. I've seen two deer, one I jumped from there bed (scared the crap from both of us) second was in my old hunting area in Pharsalia. I did not see what either was. I'm going back to Michigan Swamp (Pharsalia, NY)tomorrow and Friday. Changing tactics and equipment. Dusting off my HBO and matching arrows taking them out for the end of early bow season.

Ive been seeing deer pretty steadily in every area Ive hunted this year, even ran into some in the real  big woods Adirondacks which isnt always the case. I even think there are more deer in some areas than last year but turkey, whats the deal??? I havent seen or heard one while hunting. Even in some back yards and wood lots in town where I see up to 30 birds on a regular basis theyve been absent. Cant recall such a thing to this degree.   :dunno:

The deer have to be eating something and whatever it is in your area that is were you want to be. If your just hunting the same ol places then you need to switch it up.
