Crap everywhere is usually a good sign.
Put up a trail cam and back out for a couple days?

If you shot a deer every time out it wouldn't be any fun.

If you can, hunt from 9 to 4.
My best time to be out.

That's certainly why they call it hunting. I pulled the memory card from my trail camera on the way to my stand yesterday. While I was in my stand I checked the pictures and noticed a deer had walked by just after 6pm on the three previous days.

Well, it didn't walk by on the fourth day. I'll try again tomorrow.
