Hi guys, new to your forums. Not hunting because its the October lull or the moons " not right" may cost you a buck of a life time. I took my best buck last year on Oct. 16 that grossed over 173 typical. I think you shouldn' t talk yourself out of going because of that. I' m pretty sure your odds are better setting in the deer stand than setting on the couch. Its been alittle slow for me also but saw more deer a couple of days ago than I have all year so far. Killed a doe and passed 4 small bucks. Hope everyones luck turns around.
