Also I fogot to mention, this is also the time when the BIG Bucks move. I have seen more big bucks moving around noon than anyother time. They know this is the safest time to be out trolling, and as you said next year you'll be there when they least expect it.
Good Luck and dont forget to remember me next year when your dragging out that Big Buck when all your Hunting Buddies are at home eating lunch or resting.

During the full of the moon and the dark of the moon I have had the best luck during the middle of the day.
Moon transit [when the moon is at the peak of its travel]

I go plan my hunts according to when the sun, rise, transit or set is with in two hours of the moon transit time. Go to this address and fill in the required info and it will show the sun and moon information for your location for what ever day you program.
When the days get shorter the middle hours get better. Lee

These times may work if your hunting where there is absolutely no pressure from hunters. Where there is the slightest bit of pressure the deer will pattern the hunters and move accordingly.
No deer in it's right mind will move no matter what the chart says if there's a woods full of hunters.

Your are right about that. I have my own place and they often stand and watch me go past on the tracter during the summer. I think Raf has a pretty good spot to. Lee
