Ahh....the New Moon......
« on: March 04, 2011, 02:29:31 AM »
Went out last night for a couple of stands about an hour after dark set in.  First stand was a bust, but the second stand did produce a dog.  He came slippin' down an abandoned rail road bed as we were calling the open field.  He sat there for a minute looking at us trying to figure out what the hec we were.  Didn't get a shot oppotunity...the dog was behind some brush.  Where is a shotty when you need one? :o  LOL.  He was quite cagey and didnt stick around long enough or really clear the brush to present a shot.  I love hunting nite yotes during the New Moon phase.  It has been by far my most productive time to chase the dogs at nite.  Wish I didnt have to work today or I would have made  ALOT more stands.  The conditions were right...New Moon, front moving in, and the wind was decent (5-10MPH).
It's all a hot mess...........

Today, 3-4 along with tomorrow 3-5 will also be be very productive with 0% new moon on the former and 1% waxing on the latter.

We do have some rain in the forecast but I dont know how heavy. Footing is not too bad with it being dry all week now.
