Need some advice
#1
Well im up ehre In BC Canada, and the weather has recently taken a large shift.
The days are sunny and warm, and it seems like suddenly there are no animals moving besides does.
Starting Oct.1 All mule bucks and immature moose will be open. Hopfully the weather changes.
Untill then, does anybody have any suggestions or tips on hunting when the nights are bright and warm and the days even more so?
Forecast looks like theres nothing but sun in it, so I want to know if any of you still hunt mornings and evenings or if you do something different with this kind of weather.
Thanks

In PA there is something known as the October lull. Deer activity then is much as you described it above.
I'm not a "buckmaster" by any means, but I've read my share of articles by successful hunters and they all have one thing in common for situations like yours. Get as close as you can to their bedding area without disturbing it.
This assumes you're hunting whitetails....anything else and I can't comment.
They say the key is to get on stand very early in an area where the deer move from their night feeding grounds to their beds. In the evening, sneak as quietly as possible to that travel route again and try to catch them returning to feed.
I've also heard that deer like to get up around mid-day and stretch, but that they'll often graze very near to their beds before they lay back down.

When this happens in Pa. I head for water. Animals tend to do the same thing. A swampy area or stream in a shadded area tend to be very productive. Be there early! They will bed down sooner.
Good Hunting...
