I have been hunting this location for the last ten years and today was the first day I got to use it this year. It may not have a large deer herd but even if you don't see them, you see plenty of sign, scat, rubs, scrapes. Today it was as quiet as a church, nothing, no sign, not even a squirrel ? Weird

I'm a long way off, but with similar problems. am hunting an intersection of 3 trails in thick cutover, but seeing only one sometimes 2 sets of new tracks per week!  usually they have deer traveling them daily. been hunting here 15 years, never seen it so bad. but our 90-95 degree days are killing the movement i think, i doubt your problem is the same.  we just had our first "real" cold front hit today!!! high tomorow is 78, thurs when i got in the stand sweating like a pig, it was 77 at 5am. humidity 88%.  can't wait to see the movement pick up this week.  hope yours does too!

When there is a large crop of acorns they tend to bed in or near them and don't move much.

Longstick  it may be the acorns or just the democratics in NY not allowing them to eat on a certain day you know there is a government shut down now    :knothead:    :knothead:  Hope no one takes offense.

Where I hunt here in Alabama deer can eat,drink and bed within a place the size of a football field especially when there is a big acorn crop.
Sign will start showing up later in the year.

Up were I hunt when that happens we assume that a lion has moved into the area.  a week or two and it gets back to normal.

I'm having the same thing go on right now. Hardly any sign, and there are lots of acorns. A little strange but it will pick up when the bucks start pushin

It has been warmer than normal so I guess they may not feel the need to eat more. I thought today with some rain coming in they might be more apt to move more.

My first hunt a couple weeks ago was also like this.  Acorns everywhere, some fresh tracks, but woods were 'dead', also no squirrels..weird!  Can't wait till it cools off in a couple weeks.

Same thing here.Warmer than normal and seems like deer movement is zero.

Around here it usually means coyotes in the area. Take a predator call or fawn distress call and see if you get some action.......if it is yotes, the area may be shot for most of the season.............
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!
