Post by: de0827 on October 13, 2011, 08:00:36 AM: What is that bright white ball in the sky at night? What happened to our cloud cover?
It seems like it is more difficult to spot deer feeding during shooting time when it's clear skies and a full moon. What have you guys experienced?

Now I see it's going to be just like the last several year's unfortunately.... Full moon and clear skies = I choose to sleep in :chuckle:.
