where did they go?
 

Anyone seeing many deer
between NOV. 19TH AND 21ST.
Seems like they just disappeared or arnt
moving much since the full moon. Are they moving
more at night? Any thoughts. No one has killed
a deer on our lease since Nov. 17th.

There was a thread late last week titled "the moon" and could answer your question. But yes, the moon affects deer movement (alters).

RE: where did they go?
 

I've been seeing them move right before sunrise. The last 2 hours of darkness when the moon is setting. The rut is still going on pretty strong here in IA and the bucks are mostly bedded with does. Every buck I've seen in the last 2 weeks has a doe with him.

Early in the mornings and after 3:15 PM. Here in the Pacific Northwest. We saw 40 in one day includind a record book Mulie. But we were after elk - didn't see any of them though.

My brother and I have been out twice this week and seen 10 deer between the both of us, including us both seeing the same huge 10point that he missed at 20 yards, He is over 20" wide... I saw him on wednesday and I am hoping to get a shot at him tonight or tomorrow... I would say Keep hunting the moon is not effecting the woods I am in... Or at least it does not seem to be... Good Luck
