I got to my stand Saturday at 5 AM. For two hours before sunrise I heard deer all around me.I could even see them under the full moon. I saw does at 7:30, 8, and 8:30. I shot one at 8:30 am.

The woods were crowded for me - I got into my stand just before sun up. I saw:
[ul][*]Two owls - just after sun up[*]one deerat7:10am, couldn't tell if buck/doe due to brush.[*]two does at 8:30.[*]one porcupine[*]three ruff grouse[*]countless red squirrels,monks and blue jays eating the beech nuts. A blue jay took a crap that landed on my arrow shaft.[/ul]
I left at noonbecause of all the noise
.
I almost didn't go cause of all the talk about the full moon being bad.

Saw several does, in early morning. deer seem to get to their beds much earlier during the full moon. They also seem to get up from their beds much later.

Seen lots of deer this weekend.. I killed two of them.. Shot one Friday morning, a doe.. And I shot one Sunday afternoon, another doe... Passed on a smaller buck Sunday for a doe that's about 5-1/2 yrs old, nice large doe but don't have any pics.. Bad timing for my digital camera to break..
Anyway, good weekend with the full moon.
Oh, thought I'd ad that I also seen about 20 turkey's, a bobcat, and plenty of other critters...

I saw as many deer as I have all season this weekend. I haven't been seeing much, but on Friday and Sunday I saw a total of 28 deer. These are th first deer I have seen all season on stand.

Here in SE Pa, we had to deal with a "nor easter", but Friday I saw my first deer of the season an 8pt, no shot opp. On Saturday, I saw a doe with her yearling and took mom out. Found her Sunday morn.
It had just stopped raining both days when I saw the activity!

On Sunday I saw a doe right at sunup and then another doe with a yearling doe and a yearling button buck about 7:45. While they were hanging around my standa small 7 point came up. All of them munching on acorns the whole time. I had to get down early to come in to church and on the way home I saw 5 more deer cross the road in different spots.All of this happened before 10am.
