RE: full moon + rut = middle of day movement?
Look into your moon phases, I believe they do tend to show the best times for mkovement in the middle of the day. I had the same thing back in October, I had 4 free days to head to our place and hunt but it was a full moon and 90 degrees in the middle of the day. Needless to say I did not hunt, I worked on a few stand sites and guess what I saw a bunch of deer in the middle of the day while I working on stuff....Oh well theres always November...
Best ofluck to youand check out the moon phases, you should be able to do a search and find one online!!!!!
