Why am i not seeing anything?

(1/3) > >>

Russ:
ok so last night i was driving with a drivers ed instructor. The first drive was a country drive all the way to a glorious Casey's  ;D . It was prime time to see deer and turkey moving and i was looking everywhere when my partner was the one driving, but... nothing. well not nothing. saw a herd of deer but it was way past sunset and a pretty long drive away. i saw a fox running too against the orange and brown grass in public land, so 1. i wasnt just missing any turkey, maybe deer. 2 man that place looks like it will be good for pheasant!!!

I just find it hard to believe that in a 1 hr drive across mabey 50 miles of what i know is amazing turkey and deer hunting, at the time i should be seeing them the most, (45min before sunset and 15 after) i saw maybe 4 deer too close to a town, no turkey (at all!!)

I just dont know... i really want to get a turkey or a deer this year. or even next! or after that, even if its during rifle season. just kinda frusturating because ive been trying for, what, im almost 16, 7 years and 10 months, and i cant even see a deer or a turkey.  (--) :G

well anyway ill just chalk my time up of not getting a deer to not enough hunting time, and public land... its strange... feels the same with fishing. the more i try to fish and change lures, use different bait... i just cant catch a single thing... lol! its still fun anyway!  )F(

Deerhunter,
When I was 16 I did not see much game. Fast forward 47 years of hunting and I still do not see much game. I guess I'm a slow learner but I still keep trying. Good luck on your quest for a deer or turkey.

It isn't a guarantee no matter when you are out. We have an acreage 15 minutes outside of our small town. Sometimes on the drive out to it I see 10+ deer, or a moose or two. Most of the time I see nothing. I drive this route daily in prime farm land with very healthy animal populations and I would say 90+% of the time I don't see a single animal even though they are all over the area. It is just how things go.

At driving speeds, it is often very hard to see animals, just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there!  Keep looking!  Good luck on the hunts!  Dark geese open next week!
