[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 4814246, member: 652"] To me moon is a HUGE factor. Deer to some extent, don't move in the morning. They for sure move later in the day and the evenings. In Kentucky the past 5 mornings, since opening last Saturday gun season, there is usually a "dove shoot" with rifles happening most every morning and for sure Saturday and Sunday morning and evening opening weekend. The area I hunt is heavily hunted. I swear I have been at good dove shoots that less shots. This year, I missed at daylight Saturday morning and I only heard 2 other shots. Sunday morning I did not hear any shots. An "orange army" was in the woods. Saturday and Sunday evening there was some shooting, nothing like normal. With that said, I missed and ended up killing a nice buck just after daylight. I hunt no matter what anytime I can in November. I can tell you the 4 full days I hunted, over a period of about 8 years, the tree I was in I average seeing 20 deer each morning and evening, have seen more than 30 several times, 2 mornings of the last 5 I did not see a deer and there are tons of deer there. I saw deer every evening though. I believe in November hunt every minute you can, all it takes is one time, if you are looking for a buck, for him to show up, no matter the weather conditions, or moon phase or temperature. Some of the best rut activity I have ever seen in middle Tennessee was on 65 - 70 degree days in November. [/QUOTE]
