It's kinda got the deer movement messed up. Things have been a little weird here lately anyway. I was getting pics of young bucks bachelor grouped up last week. Wednesday morning I saw 2 young bucks together right at daylight, and then about 730 had what would have been my best buck ever chase 3 does all around the pipeline I was hunting for about a full minute and I never could get him stopped. Then about 900 the same morning I saw 3 different bucks in another small bachelor group that were all young.
Thursday morning I saw 4 does, and Thursday evening I only saw 1 doe. Yesterday morning I saw one doe and yesterday evening was dead. Not a single deer. All this at the same spot. The moon was full last night though and it's been super bright the last couple nights. I slept in this morning and I'm going back to that stand about 10:00. I'm going to sit there until 2:00 then take a little break and get in a different spot for the evening hunt if I don't see much activity. I'll try to update from the stand. The deer I saw Wednesday morning was like nothing I've ever seen on this place. He's quite a bit better than the buck I killed in South Tx during bow season. I'm thinking mid 140's....and that's unheard of on this place. Wish me luck!!

I've had trips when you didn't see anything for several hunts. One time I tried to trick the deer because I know they are there and they have me patterned. I left out of the blind at 9am in the Jeep, but stopped once I was out of the area and walked back in from a different direction and hunted until about noon. It's tough sometimes, I have stayed in the blind from sunup to sundown before.
Good luck.
