RE: My Offical Stance on the Moon Theory
2006-Full Moon on November 5th.
On November 6th I killed a buck right at dawn
2007-Full Moon on October 26th
On October 27th I had numerous buck chasing, fighting, responding to calls, and coming into a decoy. I put an arrow in a 140 class 10 pointer, and after looking for the next 2 days only found 2 drops of blood.
2008-Full Moon yesterday the 13th.
Today I got into my stand hit the horns and right on schedule here came a P&Y 10 pointer up to the decoy within the first 5 minutes of shooting light. Didn't offer a shot. The rain pushed me out of the stand early, but I still did see another buck chasing. Up until yesterday I had hardly seen any rutting action to speak of. Only some VERY SLIGHT chasing/bumpint in early November.
Could all of my encounters be coincidence? Of course it could be, but every year I still make sure that I have some vacation days for the few days following that full moon.
