Sometimes a guy is just not in the right place at the right time. I passed a buck this morning I may wish I could have a redo on sometime toward gun season..... nah   :)

First one this year that was close to what I like tho....

so do any of you all find the afternoon sits on a bright moon to be slow? I have always had slow hunts on those near to full moons In the pm. and yes, I certainly have chosen the wrong stand as well. but there have been many times when multiple hunters see nothing the same afternoon, spread out over 7k acres

I have seen a sudden change in deer movement this past few days. But, they are still around, and I still see them.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Charlie and I both had opportunities on big bucks this afternoon with heavy mass but that didn't work out for either of us but what a  rush I had I was on the ground....wow

Both Charlie and I only saw one deer this afternoon but both would have had dates with a taxidermist

moon phases are primarily just a guide to most activity ......there are a lot of other external factors that play into hunting for sure as you see by everyone else's experiences on the same day...if I have it right . it seems on full moon cycles the deer are more active at mid day....and on a new moon...during first and last light...,

so many other things can play into what you see...that it is only another tool that may help you from time to time...JMHO

some people swear by them...heck I just go hunt ..never pay much attention to anything other than the wind...and rain (rain for blood trailing)
I have been successful on hot days.cold days, windy days calm days , and at different phases of the moon..also been unsuccessful on the same LOL

Yesterday I saw a big doe at 9:40 then at 11:20 three does,and a 5 or 6 pointer came by not close enough and too many eyes.
Today I bumped 2 walking in at 10:50 and two fat does come within 8 yds. Of my stand. Then at about 11:15 I spotted a buck in a ravine. Still up on his feet.
I thought it was unusual to see deer activity that late in the morning. I blamed the moon. I read somewhere that during a full moon deer will move at midday.
