If october presents a " Lull" then I haven' t seen in my parts. Today was evident of that deer were everywhere and still moving in from the fields at 11:00 am, which is a good 3 hours later than normal for my area. Today I saw the most deer of the year in only 4 hours of hunting and some good quality bucks to boot(just no shots were presented
)! The weather was clear and warm, so no real reason for them to be moving...except possibly prerut is coming upon us
. I find the whitetail up here go " lull" in the first week of Nov. this is prior to full blown rut...but maybe the same as you experience in october. However somedays you see them everywhere(like today) and other you can' t scare up a tail (possibly tomorrow)..hunting has so many unexplained events, maybe thats why it is so fun/challenging!!!
