Default RE: did you see deer this weekend with the full moon.

There were two facotrs that I figured would keep the deer away this past weekend, the full moon and the Wisconsin youth riflehunt. I was wrong. Apparently there are no longer any kids under 12-15YO across the river from our property that participated in the youth hunt. Saturday morning I got in a tad late and still managed to see 9 bucks. One was a decent 8 pointer, I though about taking him but he just wasnt what I was looking for this early in the season. About 20 minutes after he came in I spotted movement to my west. It was another buck. This one was a wall hanger for sure. Once the 8 saw this buck it didnt take him long to get out of there. The biggerbuck was at least upper 120's lower 130's class.He offered only one shot....quartering to. I let him walk. Through out that mornign I had seven other bucks walk throuh my stand but they were real small, cull, and scrubs.
