moon phase and deer activity
well, I've noticed in about the past few days the moon has been nearly full, and full with a clear sky. I shot a doe on saturday night, and there were acorns everywhere. I went out tonight to the same spot, and honestly, it was hard to find any acorns on the ground. so, does it hold true that the deer feed more on a full moon with a clear sky (obviously) then regurally? I only saw two little ones this evening, but when I got down and walked out into the horse pasture (you could see well even though it was technically dark) I saw two little ones, a doe and I believe a good buck (he was considerably larger than the doe). I was considering not going out tomorrow am because it is so bright out. I do have two stands overlooking (you could say in) a bedding area that I was thinking of sitting. I wonder if they are out all night feeding, is a bedding area a better spot to sit? and is the evening basically a waste if they are in this sort of feeding pattern? It is also suppose to be eighty tomorrow. I talked to my father in pa who is a school bus driver who sees literally a hundred deer a day on his run, and he said he saw three deer today total, all little. he says it has been like that for about four days. cooincidentally, about the time the moon got really bright. let me know what you think.
