I have seen only 5 deer this year, two on opening day. Deer pattern you as you hunt and stay away from areas you use. but the biggest thing is the deer change where they move when there are no leaves to help them hide. I went out to track and find where they move in the snow. All the Trails they use early in the year was completely devoid of tracks and it took over Two Hours Trudging through the snow to find any tracks. there were no tracks on any trail the Bucks had rubbed the sapplings. None of the corn feeders at the food plots had been visited and trails used early in the year, Nothing!!!! I took Orange, and yellow flaging tape and marked the trails being used and where a new stand can be built in the woods. where trails crossed I used both colors.
