I have seen quite an uptick in deer activity of late over here. They may have hunkered down some because of the incoming weather? :dunno::yeah:
The night before the opener was super windy where we were with weather coming in. Big drop in temperature on the opener and definitely not a lot of deer movement. Give it a few more days and I bet you start to see some action.

In the same boat x4. Signs every where but no deer. As a newbie I guess we gotta just keep getting out there and grinding. Good luck!
I would guess that the sign you are seeing is not too fresh. Fresh tracks are sharp and clear, fresh piles will stick to your boot.

I've walked into an area of beds that still felt warm to the touch and sticky poo (I always feel a nugget). All these spots are new to me so I made the mistake of just trying to cover a lot of ground each day instead of being quiet. But I also think if I go too slow, I won't see enough to understand the terrain they're working. Hoping I'll see more when I work these same spots a second time during late season.

At least everybody else is seeing sign! I have been out to my spot a total of 7 times now and only once did I see any sign. Was actually a decent buck track that was a few days old. But other than that nothin but porcupines and coyotes. I found a few does at the back of the farm but that's it. I think for my area all the deer r sticking to the corn fields and water sources. ? I have gotten to know my hunting area a lot better and have a few go to spots in mind. I also mapped out my kills over the past few years and a buddy of mine showed me where he has gotten his and all were within a 1/2 mile to 3/4 of a mile of each other. :) I just think it's strange that it is such a barren wasteland right now but Ive been out on opener for modern firearm and u r tripping over them. Guess I didn't know as much about deer as I thought! Haha I know my biggest problem is slowing down! I do good for a while super stealthy and high hopes! But then I get discouraged or start back to the truck and start to walk around like a bull moose and that's when I normally see something!! Deff gonna hit it once more before end of bow season just to see what's up. Other than that hopefully I'm not too busy with harvest to go out for modern. Good luck

Are these either sex hunts? For does I've used a fawn in distress call a few times out in the sagebrush. Had does come to me stomping and snorting.
Yes. Bow and ML u can get does. 3 pt min for mulies any whitetail. Modern firearm is 3 pt min no does for mulies any whitetail. Don't see very many whitetail tho. I have promised myself I'm gonna hold out for a buck till muzzleloader season. I have a multi season tag and would really like to get a buck this year. But once ML season hits any legal deer is gonna get it! Thanks for the tip
