[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5264661, member: 12599"] Where I hunt in West Tennessee, if I go more than three sits without seeing a deer of any kind, it’s worrisome. The habitat ranges from thick timber/grown up select cut ( in this case, they selected every oak six years ago), to small pastures that are always chest high in broom sage during hunting season. During November there, it’s a flurry of deer activity, and not unusual to see 6-7 bucks a day during searching and seeking phase. December is some tough hunting, this year particularly. Seems I can’t buy a doe. Usually they’re grouped back up by now and the last weekend of season is a great time to get a couple. The pressure around us is usually heavy, and I’ll purposely wait to take them, giving them some sanctuary there. I don’t think it’ll happen this year. I suspect food problems above all else. The public that I hunt in middle, lol, the last two years have been rough. I won’t hunt it unless there’s no other possible recourse. It can best be measured by number of hunters seen now, versus number of deer in a sit. Even in those hard to reach, out of the way, nobody-wants-to go-there hideyholes, somebody stumbles in holding their phone with OnX pulled up. Don’t know if that answered your question, but there it is! 😂 [/QUOTE]
