I don't know if it just me but this is a very tough start here in northeast Tennessee the weather doesn't know what it wants to do I mean I killed a doe and had one more good evening but I have been in stand from daylight to dark everyday since it opened but this is one of the tougher starts as far as deer sightings I have had in a long time is anyone else having this dilemma as well
 
You done killed one in less then a week,sounds pretty good to me ,just ask one of the guys that hunt all season and don't get one,or don't see but a few all season,and I bet they would trade seasons with you
 
a big problem i think is the fact that the weather pattern this week has been very different than the normal pattern...at least here in mid tn...

With work and family I've only been on the stand about 5 hours with zero deer sightimgs. I would love to have one on the ground already.

You've Already Got One and had another good afternoon but complaining about a tough start, well you need to come with me cause I have not seen a single deer, now that's a tough start.
 
Same here, only have seen a doe and fawn. Agree with tree_ghost and sure hope the weather gets better. This weekend looks good but then it warms up again mid next week.

Been in blind morning and evening since Monday. ZERO deer! Had pics Saturday morning then they disappeared. Weather is killing me. Plus I have no acorn trees on my property either
 
I think I need a job that would allow me to sit in the stand all day.........maybe don't sit all day? Only so many days of "not seeing deer" make it easier to find something else to do.....leave those all day sits for November when deer are moving all day due to the rut.
 
I'd love it if my season had started with a doe already down. Been able to hunt 3 mornings so far and not a deer in sight yet. Hoping that will change tomorrow morning.
 
when I say I been in stand all day im talking a morning and evening hunt I am able to may my work schedule to cater to deer hunting it what I do every year the first week of deer season but where I hunt it looks as though the hunting will be done for the next 3 days rain the whole time 2-3 inches of it
 
Heh, I had seventeen deer within 30 yards Saturday morning and I came out empty handed. 12 were doe and fawn which I myself consider off limits at this time unless I can differentiate if a doe is not with fawn until later in the season (a request from the wife), one spike came in just as the sun rose and I didnt feel good about the shot(when I was aiming all I could see was brown, the deer and ground were the same color and I held off), and two small bucks, in which case one saw me while I was drawing back on the other and blew. They bolted. Not to mention while hunting Sunday morning I was checking college football scores on my Iphone and realized that same spike just walked underneath me and walked off down the hill. :-x I was actually mad when I got out of the woods Saturday but soon realized how grateful I should have been to enjoy watching the deer and the peacefulness of a great morning outdoors. I feel lucky we have the opportunity regardless of the hunt.
