I have been hunting a certain piece of land since early november almost every weekend, I have only seen deer once, I find lots of tracks and sign, but no deer, when I get there before dawn, I can hear them feeding, but by the time the suns comes up, there gone!, what can I do to get the deer to show?

The area may have had a lot of hunting pressure by others and the deer have become nocternal. Or you may be bumping most of the deer out of the area as you approach your stand in the dark. Try going in there early afternoon and see if they show up towards evening. Good luck!

Yep, I'm thinking evening stand!

If you are bumping the deer on the way in, then you know where they are at a certain time. That's a very good start.

Where do they go when you spook them? Try moving your stand a couple hundred yards in that direction. Sometimes deer will reverse direction when spooked. (the 'ol "about face, charge") so you should look in both directions.

It sounds like they have you patterned. Try aproaching your stand from a different direction, even if it means a long walk.

I agree evening hunt , also if you do hunt mornings try going in just as dawn starts breaking .
