my backyard backs up to a state park and lake plus 700acres of private land adjacent that is not hunted. i have mineral lick in my backyard and not unsual to see deer anytime during the day. around the 1st of november daylight deer sightings stopped. 1st of december place my trail cam in backyard, in 10 days only had 163 pictures, very few deer and all at night. there are so many deer you can see the browse line throught the woods. this year is definetly different, we are not seeing deer on our lease. 1 buck harvested out of the swamp and the adjoining lease is 1100 acres with most all trail cam pictures at night. 1 consolation is seeing lots of turkeys. weird year for sure.
