Why did my spot just "shut off"?

Yea im pretty lucky to have this spot, the only problem is it only takes a little bit of pressure to really screw it up. This year I have a whole plan on how to hunt it with out stinking it up, I've mapped out entrance trails to and from stands and wont go to the hot funnels ands thermals zones the bucks use during the rut until November 10th.

I don't think they left the property, its close to 1000 acres of unpressured untouchable land. The closest patch of woods is highly pressured public land and I doubt the went there. I just have to find them now.

With that much acreage, you do have more than just that one spot right??

Seems a little late to me??? Cruising seems to peak around the 4th of November around here...

I've had this happen every year for the past few years this time of year. Deer get turned onto other food sources. Now the work begins, you gotta find the other food and where they're hanging out without turning them onto you. Theyr'e still in the area.

X2 the other driving factor with this heat could be water.

I agree about the water. It's been awfully warm and dry the last few weeks. Most of the deer I have been seeing lately have been near water. Find a good water source on that land and I'm sure you will find the deer again.

Post the pics of those bucks, maybe we can figure out what happened.

I was thinking the same thing. Around here the 4th seems to be the best day, but it really seems to kick into overdrive by November 1st or 2nd. Halloween is a great day to hunt, but is usually so-so for cruising. It's amazing how the activity seems to just explode over night.
