October lull
 

Well, this was the least productive week in the woods I have remembered having for a long time. 5 hunts 24 hours logged and only 2 different siteings and 7 deer. 6 of those 7 were all at the same time. To add to it all were does and fawns. Things are looking up for this week though. We have a cold front coming in, I have had enough of this 70 to 75 degree hunts. Any one else seeing this? Good Luck

i' m blaming clear nights and a full moon... temps dropped this am in KS and still not seeing what I was a week ago.

RE: October lull
 

Yes, I believe most people are noticing this. I used to keep records of sightings in my younger years while bowhunting. There was always a sharp drop during periods of the full moon. I started not hunting during full moons unless it occurred during the rut.
Happy Hunting

I agree. In the last 48 hours we have only seen one deer. A young spike. Took my 11 year old out for the KY Youth weekend and that is the only deer we saw. He came out about 5:30 last night. My son could not get a shot he was confident taking with the rifle so the spike lived another day. I sure hope things are better for the early muzzleloader weekend next week. Gottta try out the Black Diamond I got for X-mas last year. I mean how many woman can say their husband' s gave them a Black Diamond for Christmas.

Try a full moon, 80 degrees, and 100% humidity. Not very conducive for killing big bucks.

FULL MOON IS KILLING ME.

GO DEEP HUNT HARD.;)




PUT ME IN ANYHUNTING SITUTION AND I WILL STRIKE FAST AND GET THE JOB DONE.

I can' t wait for cooler weather. Largely due to personal comfort. I hate getting to my stand all sweaty. :)

RE: October lull
 

Same here in West Central IL. Thought I might be able to catch a buck coming in from being out all night (Sunday morning)...but saw nothing. I know the time around the full moon rarely breeds success, but I like proving myself wrong. Unfortunately, I was right again. Hard to kill a deer sleeping in though. Need the cold weather!!

RE: October lull
 

Same weather here. Deer are moving very quickly at daylight and staying put until dark. They are up all night though it seems. It doesn' t help that we have had an awful mast crop this year either. Will deer eat hickory nuts????
