Killed this tall old fat dude 10-1-18 around 8:00 a.m. Been watching him for a couple years and noticed that he never shucked the velvet on his horns. He was always very jumpy and wouldn't hang around long. Finally gave me a good shot at 20 yards so I pegged him. Turns out he didn't have any nuts in his sack. I guessed him at 5 1/2. Beautiful sunny morning, calm winds, about 50 degrees. The kind of morning that makes you want to be in the stand.

I think this is a cool idea, but is more complicated than it appears to be. Area of the state will make a difference.
The type of hunting is more subjective. For example, I am a pre-rut/early rut hunter. I focus time in that part of the season and have done well during that time. I know others who focus only on rut. I can never seem to get on buck early bow season/transition.
I know people who hunt post rut/late season. The pressure of other hunters have pushed the deer into their areas, as well as decreasing natural food sources. I have a hard time hunting late season/post rut. It could be the areas I'm hunting or pressure.
I am also interested in the barometric pressure, Seems like I have seen a difference. The moon cycle stuff is interesting to me as well.
For the record, My deer range from last two weeks October to first three weeks of November. On camera, Some areas have a week of high activity, while others are dead, during the same time. I think it depends on Does in the area coming into heat. I hunt East Texas. It seems like focusing on the specific area you hunt, and getting times/dates for that areas would be most helpful for you.

Maybe a specific format would make it easier.
Area of state:
Date/Time:
facts: chasing Doe, rutted down, not swole up, ect.

Of note, if I could learn tips from GarGuy on late season hunting, Id be a more rounded hunter. I swear, end of season in East texas has NO DEER. Maybe they all went to his spots.
