moon and movement
With a full moon on Nov 2., generally the deer will move more from about 10:00am to 3:00Pm. At least that's been my impression over the last 45 years. I have also noticed that right before the main rut kicks in, this 4th quarter phase leading up to full moon, will completely nix that mid-day type movement.
As long as there are does coming in, bucks will move as they normally would just before the main rut, with less affectfrom any moon phase. They will troll looking for the hot does.
Any other nuiances that any of you guys have noticed relative to full moon pre-rutting activities, and movemet?? Do you, n general, agree with my analysis of movement? If not, why.
