Nice hunt with a recurve - congrats. Nice shooting.
Its been over 25 years of hunting to make me realize not to hunt during the full moon. Im going to sleep in from now on.
I hear that. This past weekend is usually great hunting here in MI - it's the beginning of the rut, not quite peak, but a great time to be in the woods. I hunted all weekend and didn't see a thing. The wind was wrong, it was warm on Sunday with no cloud cover to boot. Oh yeah, don't forget about that blasting moon.
Funny thing though - last night about 11pm I stepped out to listen to the 8 million yotes that were having a yipping howling contest (it was LOUD) and what do I see wandering through my back yard but a huge body deer. The moon was so bright I could easily see his body and rack - not bright enough to count points, but clearly a nice buck trolling for does - through my back yard!! The night before there were 7 does in the garden when my wife got home after dark - she saw one doe peeing.
No daylight deer though.
