I have been seeing very little buck movement during midday hours.
The big deer are as heavy as they are going to get right now, and they have no reason to get up in the hottest part of the day. Even if it is in the 70’s.
Mornings have been slow for the most part, no matter what the moon phase has been due to all the nocturnal movement. They have been up all night, are going to bed about the time folks are getting in their stands for the morning hunt.
The evening activity level has picked up dramatically in the last few days despite the moon being full and up before dark and still up before daylight the next morning.
I think the temps have cooled down just enough to allow those bigger deer that are at full body weight to move before nightfall without getting overheated. The younger bucks are always first on their feet, followed by the more mature deer.
The evening hunt is without a doubt your best bet right now.

Ok thanks everyone! I have another thread about the buck I'm after
I'm going to get in about 12:30 and sit until 3 and prob take a break.
Couple questions. I threw had corn out Monday night. The buck actually showed right before dark but he slammed on the brakes at the corn and bolted. He wasn't coming to the corn I fully believe l but who knows. He acted like he didn't know it was there and it startled him. I have another spot that a tad bit better for this wind that less than 100 yards away from where I saw and on the same edge of the thicket he lives in. No corn in that spot and a nice clearing on the edge.
Which spot would you hunt and

Any rubs or scrapes near the 2nd set-up? With it being the same edge thicket I would hunt it especially if it's closer than the hand corn set-up. Meaning an earlier sighting/chance at getting a shot!
Good luck!

I'm in, but it has nothing to do with moon phase. Just hunting deer and once sun goes down I'm after the hogs.Last edited by More Liberty; 11-01-2015, 03:45 PM.
