Lack of deer

Is anyone seeing a lack of deer on your property this season? Over the past 15 years I have had plenty of deer every season but this year it just seems to be one doe and her fawn. It's not a huge property, only 25 acres but has everything they need. It just doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'm hunting a new club this year. I've been out 6 sits and have seen zero deer. One of the guys got a nice 8 pointer with his bow

I've seen way more than i expected for this early in time season actually, and on public land above all. 12 deer in 6 sits.

I've been out 5 times so far on the gamelands and have seen zero deer. Hoping to put one down before gun season

It's been slow here but there's a hundred acres of some of the best soybeans I've seen in several years nearby so they don't have to travel much.

I've seen 3 does all out of bow range so far. This mountain hunting is super frustrating and tough. Wish I had private land where I could corn lol

Been lucky for me so far. Last year hardly saw a thing during bow season. This year I have seen lots of deer and have had a good start so far.
 
I've only bee one morning. Almost killed a buck with the car on the way there, and jumped two doe in the dark approaching my spot. Nothing during daylight, but they're out there.

Lots of deer on camera up until September 4th-6th then they split up. I've had 5 sits so far, 3 in the morning, 2 in the evening and have not seen a deer...I know they are there though.

Get off the corn piles and hunt the acorns! Yes, this requires more work but that is where the deer are right now.

I have been 3 times so far on the farm I hunt. Shot the only deer I have seen. Normally I have seen a bunch of deer but this year they are not here.
