the blur Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I got the 3 weeks off. What is the best day to hunt? when there is no moon? or little moon? Don't they go nocturnal after a full moon? With this warm weather, I'm not going to spend too much time out unless it's right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow nocker Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 i dont think warm weather really holes them up like most people think.I think it has a lott to do with the pressure.They move when its warm.Just not as much as when they do in the am or pm.I have found that during a warm sunny day,I like to hunt swamps and near water.Set up between a bed and water hole.Might be suprised the activity you see.Also the pressure pushes them into the thicker crap.In there they feel safe.They might brouse some during the day.Even if you didn't hear a lott of shots opening weekend don't mean they aren't spooked from all the human stinch hovvering in the woods right now. I see a lott of deer around 8 and 9 am on full moon nights.Don't know why exactly maybe just coincidence.I have read over and over that full moon nights they travel in the mid day.But i have seen deer at all diferent times of the day on full moons. If you have 3 weeks off i would really hunt hard this week when they bucks are still chasing a little.Especially tomorrow morning.All the weekend gun comotion might have split up some groups or split up some bucks from thier does that are about to breed.They might be searching tomorrow. Hit the corrodors and trails. Pretty much any time of day you might get lucky.I know it can get fustrating.No matter how much science you put into it and how prepared you are.It still takes a little luck to be in the right time right place.Trust me.If it wasn't for bad luck i would have no luck at all.

WNYBuckHunter Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Deer cant sweat and they have thick coats now, so temps above 45 to 50 cause them to bed and stay put. The only thing that gets them up is pressure, guys walking the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
