Could this be for the fact that everyone is out of the woods and the deer know? I'm sure for the first 2 maybe 3 seasons this will be an exciting experience but as time goes on the deer, in my opinion will become aware of the threat and continue to lay low to wait us out. Some nice deer will be taken for sure in the next few days. We can say it is the rut coming in to full swing but could it also be an unfamiliar time frame for the deer if they have an internal clock that is telling them that this time of year the hunters are gone? It be's that way sometimes. www.sunpoolcompany.com

I think continuing to have hunters in the woods, though, will mitigate some of the success that folks thought they would have this time of year. Should still be good though.

Their instincts protect the older more experienced deer but they don't have calenders and they have very short memories. The rut is in full swing and that will keep them on the move for the next 10 days. Just more time for them to make a fatal mistake
