Unless you have your own little honey hole that you and nobody else can hunt the deer are probably pressured pretty hard. If you do have your own spot then you could be lacking a solid food source and the deer have moved off to a major food source.
Late season deer are easy to pattern. Concentrate on food sources.
Thats the thing I hunt a turnip field with lots of cover around it and only two of us are aloud to hunt it. Now i have thought the poachers might have been in there but couldnt even find any sign of where someone else had been in that area
Keep looking for the foodsource they're using now. It will be obvious when you find it.
in late season deer move two places bedding area to food and then from food to bedding area.. hope this helps
I agree food food food. If you con not find it try some doe pee sent with a felt strip soaked with corn sent or apple sent (if you have apple trees in the area)acorn sent. make sure its up on a bush about three feet from the ground nad the wind is blowing twards bedding areas Make sure u don't leave the sent when u are not there if the smell it and there is no food they will not come back its only a one shot deal
