By this time last year I had 4 in the freezer. This year I have had only one shot. I have spent well over 100hrs in my stands and have seen only 9 deer. In a normal season I will see 3 to 15 a day. Took a nice doe. We are 16 inches below normal rainfall and the deer are staying close to water. Unfortunately the property I have permission to hunt only have a few streams and they are dry. I will be back in my stand today.
'NEVER GIVE UP'.
I will only be able to hunt until the 24th as I am having hip surgery on the 26th of Nov and have to be at the hospital on the 25th. I sill have 3 weeks to fill the freezer with 4 of those days being Shotgun season.
Rut is not far away so am hunting 'prime times' now and will be in my stand for a midday hunt today. Have a cold front coming through today so the deer should be moving.
I have enough tags that if I don't fill them I will have enough tags to fill the freezer with 'Tag Stew'.

Hope everything goes well with the surgery and recovery. I'm sure your hip will feel so much better after wards that you'll be jumping(no pun intended) to get back in the field.
I live about 2 hrs straight north of Kelley. It's the same thing here. I've seen so few deer this year I'm wondering what's going on. I'd just like to see a decent buck, let alone get a shot at him. With 30 mph wind gusts yesterday and today, it might be a while. Gary
