I think I may be on the verge of setting a record.....I have been hunting since opening day of bow season...over 2 months now, and I still have not laid eyes on a deer. Not. A. Single. One.

This could tie in with the, "Are we alone?", thread. My sightings have been way down compared to last year. I've seen 4 total on about 10 hunts.

I would just drive around at dusk until I saw one somewhere or walk until I jumped one to get that bad juju off you. I should have clarified.....seen one "while hunting". I saw 2 does walking down a tree line on the interstate on the way to the club back around Thanksgiving.

Im the exact same. I drove around at night on the top of our neighborhood jist to remeber what they look like. But have seen nothing. Im holding out till January. Got 4 days planned during then to get one in the freezer.

and it's not just me......with 5 hunters hunting, there has not been a single deer spotted since Thanksgiving weekend, by anyone.
there are tracks and sign everywhere, they're just not moving during the day.

Don’t feel bad Gomer. The few times I’ve gotten to go I haven’t seen anything either.
I would like to get something for the freezer because I lost all the meat I had. So a doe would be good for me.
But I am hunting public ground and not a club. I am still learning the areas I can hunt. May not get one and that’s fine too.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

there are tracks and sign everywhere, they're just not moving during the day. I can relate to this. We have sign and tracks all over everywhere but getting them in daylight is the hard part. Cameras show they are moving some in daylight, just nothing consistent. I am about to change tactics and hunt in places I wouldn't expect them to be. Worth a shot.
I don't always hunt the line, but when I do, I make sure I'm close to my neighbor's 8 acre bean field.
