Movement In Southern Indiana,IL,KY,MO,WV,OH
Whats the movement been like in your area of the states listed in this region? They seem to be hanging in the woods in my area eating acorns waiting for the beans to be harvested as well as the corn. Not seeing them during the daylight hours as much as before. I know they are in the corn at night but I have not seen them in the early morning hours nor evening.Harrison & Crawford County IN. is where I'm at. Whats your thoughts on this period with the full moon of late.

Been slow in SW Ohio. Have plenty of pictures of them in the fields at night but not seeing any during the day.
I think the full moon screwed us by giving them enough light at night so they dont need to feed during the day, and the temps have been high enough they dont hunker down for the cold nights.

Got a Doe Thursday night at 7:15,saw her at 6:45 then again at 7:05 managed to get a shot 5 minutes before loosing light but movement was nill except for her. Hunted today with my buddy near Patoka Lake he saw an 8 and a spike. Heard a angry grunt while getting in stand, saw 6 Deer after dark on the way home. It's going down to 37 tonight we will see how that stirs them up in the morning.

Southwestern, Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, the deer aren't moving at all, even in cooler temps. That's to be expected, usually doesn't start happening until around Halloween anyways.....
