No.  Didn't go out this morning.  Family issues and had a late night.  I'm hoping to get out this evening.  I did look outside at 11pm and saw Mr. Moon and flipped him off though  :chuckle:

If I was home at 8am without a deer, I would expect nothing less

They still do their cycles, even with all of that light at midnight.  Heck, you might even catch them nosing around at 3pm when they are busy at 11pm.

I was on private land blacktail hunting this morning in tree stand. Had a average 3x at 12 yards at 7 am and he was still out and about til 8:30 when he finally headed to bed. Saw a doe head to bed about 9. Checked my photos when I got home and last night was the least amount of activity in the last 4 days. The 3x was the only one on the cam last night.

Thought the same thing but we seen 30+ deer today. Action didn't slow down til about noon but we'd seen deer on our way out at 1:30. Kids had fun chasing does and a couple legal bucks today that was the best part!
Shut up and Hunt!

Yesterday morning was the best morning for deer movement this year in my spots.  I have had cameras up all year and got an average of 3 day in the mornings on cams.  Yesterday in the morning, in the stand, I had 11 deer totally, they started moving 30 minutes after sun-up and were around me for 2.5 hours.  at 8:30, I shot the 11th deer and 5x4.  Needless to say, I was amazed.  I thought for sure with the moon I wasnt going to see anything, I was wrong, It was crazy and by far the most deer I have seen in this spot at one time.
