Without a doubt, this is the worst year I can remember for lack of deer sightings period. I took off yesterday, thinking it would be a great day to catch bucks cruising and looking to pick up on fresh doe trails, and I didn't see a single deer! I came down at 9:30 c.s.t, and tried some still hunting/scouting to see what I could see....nothing, and I mean I didn't see a deer, didn't see any buck sign AT ALL. I walked the property, eased by the edges of the pine hollows that I've ALWAYS been able to catch at least a few does in, and still nothing. I've got a bad feeling about this season... \:\(

Thats exactly the way the property that I hunt in sevierville is this season...no acorns for the third season in a row and just very little deer activity on the property...It is a small trac so they may be pretty close else where but they are just not using the trails or property at all...thats the way it goes i guess...

Oh, and I went back at 1:00, to the backside of the property too. Heard a 4 wheeler coming in from the backside, then go back out I believe....heard a shot from the N of me, to the E of me, then to the SW of me. I kept thinking, " c'mon now, it's my turn " \:\/ Good grief, to not even see a single deer is pretty disappointing.

I know how you feel, last year was that way for me, hunted as hard as I have ever hunted and never even layed eyes on a deer, it was the worst year i have had since getting my place. Stay with it they will show up, but it sure is discouraging.

Even tho normally we don't usually see buck sign appear until right on the opening day of rifle season, this is still unnerving a bit. I usually see some of the early season rubs of course, but I've only seen two rubs that are from this season, and they are on spindly little maples, and on opposite ends of the property.
