Dear Moon:
#11
I haven't gone out much because I have been waiting for the weather to straiten up, then figure I would hunt hard once Nov got here. Ya right, then mother nature slaps me in the face with a full moon every night now. I'm just doomed this bow season. Please... for the love of God, moon.. GO AWAY!!!!! come back during the day

I say screw the moon! I'm going hunting anyway... infact I just took the afternoon off work to go out. They've been hitting our fields pretty heavily lately, and the bucks are cruising the edges...

The nicest part is that rut closely coincides with a full moon phase, so this moon and next may just be a good time to get to your stand.

i shot my biggest buck on a full moon at 1145 am...i like full moons...i sleep in and go out at about 8 or 830 and sit till 2...you jus have to keep a positive attitude about it all...the deer are gonna move no matter what!

I understand the moon shifts the movement ot midday, how long before it starts shifting back toward the mornings and evenings? I have a real hard time going out at 9 and sitting until 2 and being home in the mornings and evenings, it just seems to go agains my entire hunting intuition.

Keep in mind shortly after the full moon comes the full rut. Plan on activity during the couple days around the full moon to be at first or last light and during midday. It is a perfect time for all day sits and the deer movement here in SW Iowa is really beginning to kick into high gear. I've seen a couple bruisers here the past few days during early morning as well as midday.

Not a fan of the full moon either. My evening sits usually are boring, late morning and mid day has usually been my best luck during the full moon. Sucks, I won't be out there till 3ish or so today, have some work to do 1st with my job.
