    As I drove over the hill this morning I was greeted with the sight of a FULL Moon right in my face. I allways here the addage of less deer sightings on such nights as they tend to go back to beds early. So just curious, what did you see this morning?? Ill start. I went to one of my Doe kiling spots in hope of a Nanny this morning, as im letting my Buck spot air out a bit. I seen Naddy, el zippo :( My son was 40 yards away, and we were hoping to double on some Does (we have before) :) He seen a nice buck and said he thought that I sould have seen it to, as it parraled both of us :eek:
    As Mobow mentioned, just how many get by us that we dont see. Did the moon affect yall's hunting??

    Evening of October 2 I peeked over the hillside to the field edge where my stand is, I saw a deer grazing in front of my stand, I didn't peek anymore, thats all I needed to see, I went back the evening of the 3rd.... Nothing...

    Didn't see squat, plus the wind and rain last night didn't seem to help.

    Nadda!!! Have only seen one deer while on stand in 4 hunts. I really dont enjoy early season that much. Yes I am happy to be out but have never killed a buck prior to Oct 13.
