Thursday morning you need to be overlooking a clearcut when the sun gets on the ground....bout 9am er so...
^^^^^^ The effects of a full moon are a little iffy for me from the basis of consistent patterning..... but these hard freezes can be counted on to do the same thing nearly every time. I'm not sure if the deer just don't feed during the latter half of the night or if they hole up to stay warm....maybe both. Whatever the cause, deer start feeding like clockwork once the sun comes up and burns the frost off. Many folks will give up by 10:00 or so but I've found some of the best movement can come between 11:00-12:00. It also makes the hunt more enjoyable when you can wake up a couple hours later and not freeze your arse off....but still see plenty of deer.
