I must be the exception. Seen deer virtually every time out though some health issues with my wife have drastically cut down on my deer hunting this year.
We had an early rut (most chasing and fighting seemed to be 2nd half of October) and we always seems to slow way down post rut. Big deer have shut down completely but still seeing deer and getting more daylight pictures than prior years. But no big bucks on camera and the decent bucks are all at night.
We have 700 acres that doesn't get much pressure other than me hunting roughly once per week and checking cameras on same frequency. Plenty of pressure in the area though. No shortage of coyotes, Bobcats and raccoons on the cameras
