Pre-rut activity moon related

[203ntyp]

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed very little daylight activity this past week? Normally I see much more daylight movement this week, especially mornings. I have a couple of scraps I have cameras on but they are only getting hit in the wee hours over night.

I'm also wondering if anyone follows the moon calendar for daylight movement? It shows poor movement until this coming Thursday, mid-day. Went out for the 1st time yesterday, morning and evening, nothing in the mornings and 13 does & fawns after sunset.

My scrape activity has slowed a little the last couple days. Bucks are still scent checking them but just very brief stops. I thinking they're just transitioning to the search phase and less about laying down sign.

2:10 today, I had a 3 year old 10 point work a scrape and licking branch for 4 minutes 15 yards from me. He was digging like he thought a doe was buried there

Not sure how the moon is affecting them. But this warm, wet weather will probably save a lot of bucks this year during the rut.

Since about October 20th, movement here has been quite good morn,midday and evenings.

Buddy 2 days ago watched his target buck breed a doe multiple times and had other bucks grunting and. Chasing. Fast forward to yesterday he didn't see a thing.
