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:

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.
