Don't you just hate it when a hot area goes dead?
Yeah, me too.  

Yup, mine too. Maybe the guys that haven't seen much will start to get some action. It was completely quiet today in my honey hole.

If it is still the rut, do you try calling, rattling etc?? Good luck!

One hot doe and the whole dang herd is gone runnin'. I had that happen a few weeks ago. After about 3-4 days they started filtering back "home".

I have not seen a deer in my small by town spot now in 4 days of hunting.  No trail cam pic's for a week.  I did finally see a little fresh scrape activity in the woods two nites ago.

Always when I think the season is going to be the smoker of 'em all, this happens...gotta change my way of thinking.

Remember, deer pattern us.  Change what you are doing.  If you have been getting to your spot before daylight and staying until mid morning, the get there late morning and sit there until early afternoon.  Move your stand 20 feet.  Mostly, break your routine.  Bill
