I'm going hunting tomorrow morning, so my bet is that they'll tire themselves out tonight, and bed down while I'm hunting.  Ha.

That moon was freaking HUGE tonight.  I saw a shooting star as I came out of the woods tonight..........good sign for tomorrow.

For me a full moon begining of the month means its game on for the next 3 weeks.  Just from what ive seen and learned.

YES... Deer activity should be very very good. Tonight i saw 4 or 5 different bucks running does. Last year during our "supermoon" i saw several bucks well into late morning.. No shots because they were all cruisin through fast so be ready!!

Full Mon is Sat 11/4. It will be the second full moon after the autumn equinox   "quote":

The closer the rutting moon (second full moon after the autumn equinox) falls to November 1, the more intense the rut should be.  Looking ahead, 2017 and 2020 should provide an exciting few weeks of rut hunting.  This year the rutting moon falls on November 4^th and they are calling for a “synchronized” rut with peak activity occurring around November 7th and continuing until November 14th.  The seeking phase is predicted to begin around October 26th, the chasing phase to begin around November 7th, and the tending/breeding phase also known as “lock down” to begin around November 15th.  A synchronized rut occurs when three things align around November 1st – doe estrogen levels peak, bucks testosterone levels peak, and the rutting moon occurs near November 1st.  According to their moon theory, synchronized ruts are by far the most intense in terms of rutting behavior and activity.
