Thats exactly what I was thinking. All the hunters in and out of the woods, before dark, after dark has the deer wondering whats going on and only move when they feel safe, at night!

I hope the lull exists if you will. That explains alot.

huh....you do learn something new everyday. until now ive never heard of an actual "lull" i just thought i was doing everything wrong - and learning from my mistakes. thanks....i think

Up in NY our season dont start until the second weekend of October so if there is a lull we dont get the pleasure of expirenceing it, but i would have to say that judging by my trail cam activity that there had been a heck of a dropoff in the last few weeks compared to late summer and early september. I would have to say that there might not be a lull but definatly something going on.

I don't believe much in a lull. I don't usually start tearing them up until around Oct. 9th. Then the damage begins. Crops in Illinois slow you down early. Here's aneat trick during your "lull", sit on an exit trail as a corn field is being cut. You'll probably see every deer in your hunting area.

One of my best times to hunt is in your so called lull. I usually cant hunt the rut because i usually shoot my buck in early to mid october in Central Wisconsin. Heres the last 4 years. Nice 8pt October 6th, 9pt (126)october 11th, 13pt (147)october 8th. Maybe its luck but i dont think so...

Man down here in North Texas we have a Lull the whole month of October!

There certainly isnt a lull here in NJ where i am, it seems as though every single person except for me that i know has knocked down a nice buck in the last week.

I was just informed that my coworker and gander just shot this buck last night. Not very big but still October 10th... He had2other 8s sparing in front of him and this one came the closest. All on public land.. Was out 2 nights ago and sawa lot of deermovingon public land. No lull here!!
