This was by FAR the worst "rut" I've ever experienced. The full moon and tons of standing corn had alot to do with it. The full moon theory is the most over hyped, unproven, alot to do about nothing....I hate it. I will just sit next years full moon in Nov. out.

I hunt Fulton County, and it was a tough shotgun season. I never saw a single deer. My brother took a doe on that Sunday morning. It was running with a yearling, but that was all. They dropped our corn the Monday and Tuesday prior to the start of shotgun. My boss and another friend of mine hunt in Victoria and Mason County.......they never saw a single deer either. I arrowed a small 6pointer on Nov 15th, and he wasn't swollen or stinkin.........???????

Hamilton county is still rocking, I just got home and the 1 1/2 year olds are chasing everything down there, we had a close call with a 140 and a 160 I hope make it till next year now.. Good boys should be good this weekend.. Walt
