Night Moves.....

And More Night Moves

Full moon coming next week that ought to get them out during the day. Wife shot her buck last month just before noon on the last full moon day. We''ll be hunting all day, every day starting the 26th.

Secondary rut. They’re moving elsewhere as well, just gotta find them.

Nice buck. You will get a picture in the day time soon, your neighbor will be holding him for a trophy photo.

Entirely possible, I certainly don't have any exclusive rights to him, lol....

Nice buck! He'll slip up and you just have to be there.

I am having the same problem , all nocturnal . A have a small feeder right behind my cabin for just viewing purposes . I have a very nice 12 point that shows every night about 30 minutes after shooting time , for a month now . He is coming out of some heavy tree cover , so when I have gone in after him in light he just spooks . He is not on the cams at the other 7 feeders , ever .

They're only nocturnal at the feeders, IMO. That to me says they've seen too much hunting pressure, either from you or your neighbor. They are moving somewhere else during the day where you don't have cameras; you need to figure out where that is and hunt them there.

If the above is for me . As stated I do know where he is bedding down . I can not get close enough in the heavy tree cover to get a shot before he spooks . All of my other bucks are on several cams and at shooting time .

Tough to move over if you’re hunting 25 acres with 4 feeders and 4 fifteen foot 6x6 tower stands.

Who is doing that, I've got two feeder locations on 70 acres, opposite ends of property, a 10' tripod 75-100 yards from feeder and 6' box blind too for cold days.

Not you, a guy I know.

It wasn't necessarily for you, just a general stmt. But in your case, where is he when he's not bedded, and also not at your feeder? Is he participating in the rut whatsoever, and what are his other food sources? If your place is mainly forest, I can see how you're definitely in a pickle, but that much forest should dictate that he has to leave to eat. Good luck in either case, I hope you get a crack at him!

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.

Aliens, good line drop Newt. "Game over Man, game over"

they were nocturnal near Windthorst Wednesday night. 9 does at 4;30, followed by 4 progressively bigger bucks till I couldn't see cuz of darkness.

Lol Buzz....
