Opening Day!

Opening day is finally here, and what a beauty it will be! We are still in a dry pattern with cool nights and warm days, and the moon is still fairly bright which I think playing a major role in activity. Right now the moon rises around midnight and doesn't set until mid-afternoon, making late night through mid-morning feeding a likely bet. I have noted more morning activity on days when the moon is bright on my early walk in, and when it hangs in the sky throughout the hunt. Cool temps in the morning boosts deer activity even more! The afternoon will be warm, but a cold front is coming. It wont get here in time for the evening hunt, but the front will set the stage for a very cool Opening Weekend! This front could help nudge activity up a bit as the deer feel the pressure drop. Afternoon activity will be fair and most likely late. Good Luck!
