Going on my first mule deer hunt in early October. Season is 2 weeks long. I’m trying to decide if I want to be there the whole season or scout a week before and hunt the first week. Was leaning towards scouting a week then hunting, BUT the week before is a full moon and the first week of season Is pretty much a full moon. From what I read mule deer are starting to go nocturnal at that time anyway so I’m wondering if the full moon will just make this worse, making scouting hard if they are mostly moving at night? What do y’all think? Will the moon phase mean I’ll mostly be waiting for the last few minutes of light and the first few and the rest of the day be a waste? Should be pretty glassable area.
