(P) October 1-15 Deer Activity

Deer activity over the next couple of weeks is still hard to predict as we work towards the October lull. Most of the deer will more visible at the first of the month or at the end of the month depending on weather conditions. We won't see early activity related to the rut until October 19th. To be successful, hunt close to the bedding areas without getting so close that the deer pattern you. In the meantime, here are your lunar times for October 1-15th:
