Man it's been a few years since I've gone 3 sits without a deer. Maybe the fact it's raining leaves is keeping them bedded? Maybe I'm just in the wrong place at the wrong time? UGH! Hope it turns around soon. How's everyone else doin?

Wow, it would be common in my area to go three sits without seeing deer.

I'm happy to hear others are doing well! BSK typically right now I start seeing deer every other sit at least. Not always where I can shoot with a bow but still there. We just have so many deer out where I live. Oh well, it's called hunting and not shooting for a reason right!? Maybe im just stressin cause we need the meat. Ill quit whining lmao. Hope everyone has a great season!

Although deer density plays a big role, deer sighting rates are often connected to visibility. We have a moderate deer density (around 20 deer per square mile) but our visibility is very limited due to habitat and steep terrain. It would be very unusual to be able to see a deer beyond 40 yards as long as the leaves are still on, and rare beyond 80 yards after the leaves are off.

Same here Bryan!.....And we are both in Unit L! And like you say, it all depends on terrain and layout.....Our properties are pretty similar (from what I remember from previous conversations) - Strictly hardwoods with straight ridge / hollow terrain consumed (barely) with a few food plots. On average, about 80 yards is max while on stand after the leaves fall....Some places, we can see 150 yards, but almost NEVER do you see a deer that far away  .....most are within about 60 - and thats being liberal on distance
