I get out as much as I can all season. I must admit though, that the full moon tends to slow deer activity down. The last 5 years I have been watching this closely and found deer movement was noticeably different during a full moon. I agree that crops don't have a thing to do with the rut, but also believe that crops would give more cover for the deer to chase in. I also believe this year will be a great rut and that the first 2 weeks of November should be awesome. Good luck everyone.
