Yup, same old mantra - I can pick it apart but all I see is salal, stumps, logs that look like deer, grass, etc. I'm always amazed when there is suddenly a deer standing where I just thoroughly glassed a minute before.
Not to go too far off topic, but I can't imagine your cuts last any longer than these. It seems like at 4 years, they just start to hold deer, and by six years, you can hardly see into them anymore. By seven years, it is time to find a new place to glass.
Back on topic - do you find that the bucks you see at midday, late in the season are working their way through the cut, perhaps scent checking thermals for does in heat, or are they typically already with the does, following their every move?
