No Blood Yet

[Jerry/NJ]

I have been hunting this farm for 17 years and never have I seen a season like this :eek::( I have only seen 4 does since the opener in Sept. and no mature shooter bucks, only young 6's and the like. I checked all water sources for dead deer thinking it was EHD like we had 7 years ago but found no dead ones. I am reading on other forums and talking to people that are finding similar experiences. Also, usually Late Oct. and now there are deer smeared all over the highways and I can't even find a road kill to shoot :mad:
I think someone put the maloiks on me.
Anyone else having a bad year like this?

Go to a Zoo. And see what they look like you may have forgotten.:eek:

Well don't feel alone.. Here in North East Ohio, the rut hasn't really started yet and next week the temps going to be in the upper 60's. This is going to be a rough year.....

Worst season I have ever seen here in Virginia. In the past I have seen deer in the woods most every time out. This year, very little sign. Very few deer sightings in the woods. Opening day I saw 1 doe. Over the last 3 weeks I have only seen a total of 9 more deer. Eight of those were on the same evening.

I thought it was just me having a bad season, but I have heard of others saying the same...:confused:

Seems like alot of us are having a very weird year.......I dont have any answers for my area. :(

I shot alot of deer on another farm on a crop damage permit over the summer and I feel it is revenge.....LOL

Wow, I've never really thought about deer having a hard summer but I guess I can see why because of heat, drought etc. Up here it's the winters that kill off the deer.

No shortage of deer here bud, and the rut is in fullswing!!!! Too bad my buck tag is already filled:(

[Rattler]

I hear ya brother! I count over 200 deer for my deer count for the state biologist and I cant even see one while in the stand. last 3 sits I got skunked. I think the acorns are too much this year

[NJBowman]

Jerry your not the only one. All I have seen are dinky bucks. Not a one shooter even at a distance. Deer movement is very late. Glad I managed to take 2 does with my Synergy for the freezer.
Maybe the late season will be better. Good luck

[Jerry/NJ]

Yeah Big John, I've seen some dinks too but I've only seen 4 does since the season started in Sept......not even road kills :eek: I've never seen a year like this! :confused:

Well let me be the first to congratulate you (as long as it wasnt your own blood) :D:D

[Michael]

No, not my blood. I am not the hunter for this one. I took my nephew out hunting yesterday for his first archery hunt. It didn't last long. He put the smack down on a nice whitetail. I enjoy taking kids out to hunt more than I do hunting myself. My 4 year old son is always with me.

GOOD ON YOU Michael........we need more adults like you ! ;)

Somebody has to teach them, God knows they are not learning anything from watching the "Pro's" on TV, except that a 180 class buck should be killed in 30 minutes, minus comercials:D.

I don't just take them hunting, I also teach them to shoot properly before I even consider putting them on an animal. I think shooting skill should come first.

Thank you for the compliment, I don't take it lightly.
