Hello all,
Hunting the moon and timing the rut can be downright confusing. However, one individual who has done extensive research for quite a few years, has it pretty much nailed down. His name is Charlie Alsheimer. What makes his studies differ from others in the fact that he uses data from all over the states, and in addition to that he has a special unit in maine that the deer being studied are not affected by hunter pressure, nor by temperature. All this mumbo jumbo stared making sense after hearing him in a seminar. What is really impressive is that his data in the controlled environment mirrored exactly what was transpiring in the other locations across the states. In case you are wondering, no I am not an affiliate of his, nor does he even know me. But I do have a good bullcrap sensor and his collected information is not a gimmic or smoke and mirrors. Here is a link to his site.

Hunt safe, and thank God for his creation.
