Can't seem to find any deer? I got a new property that I am bow hunting in the crane hill, Cullman/Winston line. I got it late and have hunted 3 times, once was all day, and 2 long mornings. It's mostly hardwoods, with a medium sized pine thicket. I have found some good white oaks, some decent trails in the pines, but still not seen a deer. I guess my question is would you just move locations every time u hunted, or keep sitting on the deer sign? Last hunt I sat on top of a hill with squirrels and acorns all over the place, but no deer. I'm kinda puzzled, figured I would get eyes on deer by now.

Are the deer feeding on the acorns?

How big is the property? I'd look at google maps and try to find any natural edges, funnels, etc. Analyze the surrounding properties as well to see how the deer might travel to/from.

Having said that, if you're seeing sign where you're hunting, I'd try to be patient and stick with it for a while.

100 acre property. I just assumed the deer would be feeding on acorns as usual. Looked at Google earth, no food plots on surrounding properties, one huge pasture, lots of hardwoods. There is a hog wire fence running the property line, it's missing a section on top of hill, so I was hunting it as a pinch point. Think I may hunt different sections till I get some type of visual.

Put out cameras. Or you can invite me to help you hunt it and I will help you pattern them

Don't just assume that the deer are eating acorns just because they are on the ground. They could be feeding on acorns closer to a bedding area or just perfer somewhere else. Look for cracked open acorns and deer poop where the acorns are. If there are several piles of poop, then they are spending sometime under that tree. Like said above, be patient and keep hunting the fresh sign. Try putting a camera up, if you have one. Good luck.

Like mentioned above put out multiple cams and you will find where the deer are or are Not!!

With it being only 100 acres make sure you can get in and out real quiet like.

Put out some corn in front of some cameras. That will give you an idea of what kind of deer you're hunting.

When do they rut in crane hill?
