If you can't find any deer you fit into one of these categories:
-you're stubborn. You expect deer to be where they used to be or where you want them to be.
-you're not physically capable of getting out and getting after them where they are.
-Or youre just not as knowledgeable about deer and deer habitat as you think you are.
All of those things get compounded by age. Not knocking anyone . it's just the way it is. And as a post script. I don't archery hunt or participate in early muzzleloader, and I rarely get a chance to flintlock hunt anymore , simply because I'm out of tags. There are deer everywhere.
