....falling during the peak rut. Can this even be considered fair chase??? How lucky are we.

When is it? If it's this weekend you wont see it

no one can hunt for entire week during the "BLOOD MOON", un-fair !!!!!

We expect to kill some giants this weekend. This is absolutely the best timing we have ever had with blood moon, red moon and the rut. I'm pinching myself!

Heap Big Medicine!!!

What time of day would you moon hunters say would be the best if a fellow was wanting to go on monday, according to blood moon lore? Supposed to be the coldest day weve had so far this winter.

You sit all day in this situation. Trust me

The moon timing is great however the weather conditions are going to be horrible. It’s calling for thunder storms all day Saturday then Sunday 20 mph winds. That’s horrible.

Sit all day tomorrow, you gonna need a canoe.

Not if you are a pantywaist and sit in a shooting house.

Much iron in his words

Wild Bill gonna have his inflatable ghillie suit

And a damn east wind Monday now.

Not a bad idea. Will have to work on this

I imagine tonight Back porch is deciding if he's gonna late shoot the biggun he's been talking bout.

And I have to work 😫

Yeah, the east wind thing sucks.

So your completely shut down due to an east wind?

No, but its extremely limiting with our property layout.

Small parcel

Whild Bill, please post pics of your buck harvest after y’all kill several mature bucks on the edge of your sanctuary..

Gotcha. I’ve encountered this problem before. You need to dig a hole in the ground and make a under ground bunker. I killed a good one two year ago like this. Was the only way I could get close. Hope this helps and good luck to you!

My original question was really if it was “fair chase”. We generally open up our sanctuary one day a year, usually during a rut event. I think we are leaning towards shutting it down this weekend and just hunting perimeters. Too many opportunities with bucks on the move for our less seasoned hunters to get busted

Thanks Bill....I'll try that the first chance I get!

Not allowed to post pics. Club rules

Could you just draw a sketch of the bucks on paper and show us?

Suppose to be an eclipse Sunday evening

Wolf Moon

Sunday Night, should clear...

If I had a club I would limit super blood moon hunts to my elite seasoned hunters.

this^^^. Cartoon drawings would fit the rest of this thread......

Checked with the president. He said no pictures or any other forms of renderings allowed on any social media, period. We can describe bucks in writing only. He feels it would only attract poachers and other unwanted attention and whatnot. About to finish packing and head to the club. I don’t have hardly any cell reshepsun downnthere but will let you know how many giants we arrow during the blood moon rut hunts

And a dang SE wind for Monday. WTH

No, I leave early now so I won't be tempted...:)

Posting for WhildBill... they call this buck Peterbilt cause his rack is as wide as an 18 wheeler is long

The deer could care less about a moon.

I thought you was gonna draw a big pile of bull sheeets. Been more appropriate lol. All talk and no proof.

Just for you Jake!

Would a mod please make this whild bill’s avatar?

PLEASE!!!

Well I’m waiting on a update.

waiting on more cartoon drawings of big bucks

Blood moon, wasn't all it was built up to be.... we saw some young'uns wondering around, but BIG boys was nowhere to be found. Last weekend was a lot better, killed 2 studs, and 2 were missed. Hopefully,next couple of weeks will be better.

I reckon it was good to me. I missed a giant Saturday morning and killed a good one Sunday afternoon then killed a good one Monday morning

It was lucky for me!

Was an awful weekend at our 4000 acre lease. Wind was dead wrong for a lot of our kill sets. In the kill sets that we deemed appropriate for the wind, we saw a few nice deer, but we couldn't buy a deer in range of our bows. Had Ghilly suits and everything. very disappointing blood moon hunt weekend. Anybody kill any 150's?

My sanctuary is not putting out....

similar in Macon Co- saw a few, nothing to get excited about in terms of mature bucks

Dead I'm Marengo Co

Been a long time since mine put out........Oh,,,,,,, you said sanctuary

No, but i got two 75’s.
