It's not just bad there man, I have 100 acres private land, usually deer all over. First part of Oct. saw 2 does with yearlings, 1 doe by herself, and on Oct. 23 I took a 3yr old scrap buck to get him out the herd. I haven't seen a deer since. ML season here now, been everyday since Sat. morning, no deer. I am tellin' myself they are stayin' deeper in the swamp, beacause the acorns started fallin' last week. I really don't know what the crap is goin' on, never had a year like this, I do know it is still to hot for the middle of Nov.
