Default RE: Full moon and hunting

This full moon, November 16th's is pretty darned important in my opinion. From a biological standpoint in association with Photoperiod. Studys upon studies show that Estrus is triggered by photoperiodism. This moon will trigger a ton of does over the next week. Seeking will turn to chasing in which will turn to breeding. Does smell right for about 72 hours, then they actually come into estrus for about 28-32.

BE OUT THERE HUNTING THIS FULL MOON>>>BECAUSE THE DOES ARE NOW TRIGGERED to produce that so important phermone. I wouldnt miss a day for the next 20 if I had them off work.

Full moons outside of the rut do play a factor into deer feeding..but thats a different story than right now!
