Am I the only one NOT seeing deer??

[twostepct]

I can't figure out a pattern or what is going on to save my life, other than they are not coming in when I'm there! I have deer coming to the feeder on camera but I haven't seen a single deer in person. I'm hunting a small place (60 acres) but its in the middle of no where and there is very little pressure around. What gives?!

well im seeing deer just no shooters. i got a doe in october but not one shooter buck. its hit and miss where im at if they even show. i moved to a different spot this morning and got on a hot doe. although the buck chasing here was only a 2.5 yr old 6. Ive been after them hars though and still waiting for a shooter

Hunted today from 530am till 130pm all I saw was a bunch of tree rats.

The main thing is corn is not their primary source of food right now. It will get better as the season progresses. I hunted all weekend and saw only one deer. The deer I saw didn't come close to my feeder either. Frustrating isn't it?

[ShaftAssassin]

seeing very few. all the big bucks on my place are moving at night per trail camera. maybe some of these cold snaps will get them moving around a little bit. another thing is the acorn crop this year is crazy, i have all but turned my feeders off cause they dont come to them at all!!!!

[cvanbrunt]

Nope... We havent seen anything either at all. I have 2 pictures of an 8 point and 1 picture of a doe. Thats it all season.

Hoping as it gets colder they will start coming in. We have about a bag of corn on the ground under each feeder, they just arent coming in.

Too much green browse and acorns still around. Their building up fat for winter and our corn doesn't help. They'll show up late season.

I am in the same boat. Seeing a few on cam at night, but hardly ANYTHING during the day. This is at home & at the lease.

Not much here but Thursday last week I saw 2 shooter bucks and 4 young bucks running around crazy and fighting and grunting, never stopped to give me A shot then suddenly... Nothing.

[RustyRanchero]

We have tons of acorns lying around still, they don't need the corn yet. That first freeze will be good.

[Browning2008]

Right there with ya. Have pictures of some decent bucks and other deer. But I'm on my 16th hunt and haven't seen anything but a rabbit and a squirrel.

[Wiley719]

I've hunted about 20+ sits since starting of season and have saw about 5 bucks total and a 3-9 does and fawns usually per set but have been skunked 4-5 times its weird usually see at least 10 deer most years per set and have had 2 big boys on camera but my cuddeback pooped out on me 2 weeks ago so don't know what's coming in when I'm not here

[FtHoodBowHunter]

Had lots of bucks and does before season opened. A week before season, they vanished. They are hit and miss now. I have seen 3 bucks, and a couple does. One buck I was lucky enough to get to stop and get a shot on. Now if I can just get some of these does to start coming in.

Your not alone!!

I havent seen as many deer as I expected. Ive taken 2 doe's w my bow, but havent seen any of my big bucks while Im in stand. I have seen a couple on a pipeline but didnt have rifle w me either time and they were out of bow range. Ive had a few sits where I'll see 4-5 deer, and been skunked a few times too. I agree w most, I hunt E TX and theres so many acorns on the ground its crazy, and my rut has been whacky, Ive seen bucks chasing doe's off and on for a month strait, but have also seen bucks running together. I think the first freeze is gonna work miracles for us E TX guys!
