IIRC you saw a couple during small game season when carrying either the .22 or .25?Your hunting sounds a lot like mine. I remember one year I saw lots of turkeys during the fall deer season. Then during the spring gobbler season I saw lots of deer! LOL I'm sure you've looked for trees where there might still be some acorns on the ground. I always hunted the oak trees or the game trails leading to bedding areas.I saw 13 deer the other night with my thermal walking around the house, while trying to see if there was any coyote activity in the area. Not even the first one tonight after the fog and rain all day.
