Im disgusted,I've hunted 7 times since season has opened and put right at 26-27 hrs on stand and have only seen 1 deer from my stand that was over 100yds away..I get it,there are loads of acorns,okay,on the 104 acre property I hunt,it is a 10yr old clear cut,very few oaks..Except for 1 hollar,its full of mature oaks thats loaded with acorns..Bingo!!! You think thats where to hunt...WRONG! I've hunted it a few times already and never seen the first deer there.

I don't understand im getting loads of trail cam pics,but not seeing any deer,im also seeing alot of deer tracks..Im not doing anything different than last year. Hopefully my luck will turn around this weekend,when I start hunting the new 50 acre tract I got permission to hunt..I put a ladder stand up today there and brushed it in,gonna hunt it saturday evening..Im gonna have to do something,at this rate,I'll give up hunting by the middle of OCT...LOL THanks for reading my complaining!!!

I don't believe they've got me patterned,I have 2 places to hunt and have split the hunts up between them and not hunted the same stand twice..The pics are about even day/night..

I think the action should pick up over the next few days. The weather is about to get right.

I'd blame it on the weather. This big front has things messed up.

Strap on your boots and go scouting. Find that one tree with fresh feeding sign and hunt there.

I agree that the moon and weather have things all messed up. I think th 90 degree to 70 degree instantanious change did not help. I believe it will get better.
