i think the deer move the most about 2 hours before the transit. but that time of year anything goes.

I know but it's suppose to be 2 hrs on either side and the deer don't have indiglo watches. ;D

As usual Nov 15-17 is looking good for the mornings.

i know i havent been hunting long but i think they move most around two hours prior to the transit and underfoot and i really dont have much faith in the two hours after. AT ALL! i think from the transit till three hours after is the worst time.
