I've got 100 acres of private and much more public that have been loaded with deer. Now they seem to have vanished. There plenty of oaks and cut corn near. Is anyone else having this happen?
Where are the deer?

Yup, haven't seen a deer since muzzy, but only been on 2 sits. No fresh sign either, I don't have any cams out to check.

No seeing a lot. Cameras still showing a lot. All about pressure.

Slow here, but there has been a bit of extra human traffic around my property the last couple weeks.

What area of TN you hunting? We are in Hickman. My cousin is living at our cabin while his house is being built. He's been hunting quite a bit. He hasn't seen a deer since Thanksgiving

Pretty dead here in Coffee. I saw one of my good ones dead on the road this morning, and a nice one out tending a doe in the field mid morning. So I went out to two properties & pulled cards and in the last two weeks it's been pretty dead. I've been tagged out since early November so it's not hunting pressure on these properties. Just that time of year.

My cameras in two different counties are getting more pictures than I have got all year. But most of them are night pictures.
I hope you are correct brother!! Good luck
We were crappie today watching buck pics come in….and werent catching anything. Gonna try to put my son (13) over looking the scrape line.
Hope to see pics tomorrow evening!!! Taking my wife tomorrow first time she has got to go this fall due to total knee replacement in October
Deer been scarce last two weeks in Fayette county. Not seeing any and few pix since rut passed.
Did hear some sparing this morning but couldn't get eyes on them.
Took a big doe this evening and she was running with another big doe.
Hope to find my buck in second rut last few days of the season right after new years.

They were rutting hard today in Cades Cove like it was November. I saw 6 good bucks, 2 absolute giants. All were either chasing or locked down with does.
Nocturnal with those boom booms and man's scent all over the place . Common this time of year . Can't lay off though season's winding down .

A friend killed a buck this morning in Dickson. He said it and another buck were chasing a doe.

I've given up on even seeing a buck this year, much less one I want to shoot. Just hoping my son gets a crack at one before it closes. He has certainly put his time in. Pulled a camera on a clover plot tonight- 13 triggers over the last 30+ days. Another on a traditional field entry that had more pics of the neighbor's dog, squirrels, and black birds than deer.
Finally seeing a few show up in fields. We laid out prone in a field tonight to get this one but she got past him and too far out for him to shoot. Check out the fat on this doe- she was pretty well out of places to pack on any more. I can see why they haven't been moving for me. Been laid up, fat and happy, on acorns I don't have.
Looks like I get to hang up the gun and guide from here on out.

Hope she has a chance at one.
My food plot is finally getting busy. Bucks have been pretty non existent and if I have seen a buck, he needs a few years. Nothing close that I wanna shoot but if one of these does comes back into heat I hope to be here.
