Well as weekend 2 is almost over, Im sitting here scratching my head. My dad and I have been hunting the same property since friday night and neither of us have seen a deer. There have been plenty of trail cam pics of deer here. October lull? Just so nobody questions my hunting skills, yes we have been hunting the wind and not being sloppy hunters. Is anyone else seeing anything?

I have noticed less bucks on the cams in the last week , just about every where . I've been moving cams like crazy and cant seem to find em , doe movement has picked up in the last few days but with a south wind we have warmer temps too

I have yet to see a deer. I am changing my spots, the deer are changing their spots. We have not met yet. It should happen.

I have only seen one deer in 6 hunts so far this year. At least he was a buck...but a 4 month old button buck! Getting a bit discouraged, but keeping at it!

I saw 1doe yesterday morning. The problem was it was at 5:30 in the morning when I was pulling into camp. She was feeding under the apple trees about 50ft from my uncles truck while he was inside sleeping.

No deer sightings for me. I have some doe pics, but all are at night. Bucks seem to have vanished, b/c I have no pics or found any rubs. Switching to finding bear sign this weekend. I find good bear sign, I should find a heavy concentration of feed, as well as the deer. Bears aren't touching the apples so they are finding nuts somewhere.

I sat in one in Pa and I loved it, saw deer and seemed a little easier. You know your not getting any younger. HE HE HE
