Close to giving it up for the year

I would lose the cameras and set up some ground blinds away from feeders. Hunt trails and buck signs. A lot of the time the big ones only show from other properties to chase doe. But I do like your blinds!

We have not seen much of anything on camera and nothing on the hoof this entire season. I enjoy "just being there" as much as anybody but I need to at least see something every so often to keep it interesting. I did however get a big shot of encouragement yesterday. I went over and met the guy who owns the adjoining property and has been managing the deer herd for over 10 years. When I got there he had just pulled up from pulling cards and he invited me in to take a look. I was blown away at the bucks on those sd cards! He only shoots a buck off his place if it is bigger than his personal best. (they have taken 3 over 150) He pointed out 4 bucks he considered culls, all of which I would be more than thrilled with, and several more mature P&Y class bucks. . Just knowing they are in the area and have recently been captured on camera just across a standard barbed wire fence got my blood pumping and got me excited again. I have new motivation to keep after it!

I am having this same issue this year. That being said our rut is still about a month away. As frustrating as it has been it won't keep me home. Can't kill em on the couch

If you need a project your welcome to come build a mega blind on my place!!!!!!

I've been there, I would suggest u do some walking around and find some new active trails and then set up a ground blind and try to improve your tracking skills and see if u can find something new. It might help because it changed my outlook on things.
