Feeding time charts

[tcward]

How many of you guys pay any attention to feeding time charts?

 

[1eyefishing]

I'm down with the moon affecting feeding times.
The chart I look at follows along with that.
I pay attention to it but I hunt by my schedule more often than it's schedule. It may make me stay in the stand a little longer or get in a little earlier...

iSolunar is pretty accurate I’ve found

 

[madsam]

Never used a chart but dk that they have to feed constantly ,,,and are
most active in early a.m. and right before dark. They are usually moving
and feeding different times/areas right before BP starts to drop. My OP...

 

[antharper]

My dad pays attention to it and believes in it . I just go when I can

 

[patriot15joe]

Start checking it when you see them feeding on the roadsides… it’s pretty accurate. The only time I don’t pay attention to it is in the rut.

 

[WOODIE13]

I do, maybe it's just a confidence thing. During the rut, just hunt

I don't pay too much attention.
According to the Astro table in the October issue of GON today is the best day for movement in the entire month of October... i think i heard 3 shots all morning.

Hunt mid day during a fool moon. The primary feeding time was between 1 and 3 today. It moves from 2 to 4 tomorrow

i Used them when I was younger but haven’t looked at them in about 15 years.

Maybe I’ll take a look again since there is such a following here. Haven’t seen a deer in my last two days hunting though either way.

This^^^ I go when I can too, but I usually am aware of those times……I get them off my HuntStand app.

Of course. There was no shooting at midday either where i was. It was 80 degrees though, probably kept some people out of the woods.
I'm in the 'hunt when you have the chance to hunt' camp.

That 98% lunar illumination is a deal breaker.

Ima' sleep in and eat a good breakfast for a few days.

It did say it was a 9 yesterday, pretty much spot on because they barely moved. Grandsons wanted to go regardless

I watch the Cows. If they are feeding..everything else usually is also. Same with laying around.

 

[kmckinnie]

I watch the deer. When the deer are moving. They are moving. When they laying around. Well u don’t see them. Durning this rut season movement can be at any time. May not last long but the weather is not a factor when this occurs. Your cameras in foodplots is not a indication. You have got to put cameras in natural areas as well.


I like what I’m seeing. At the bottom pic I plan on hunting a climber. Upper pics I have killed deer there 9 to 4 a couple times. And other areas like the 2 above. No stand just sitting by a tree. Upper areas I use a climber on a pine. My other 2 cameras on plots didn’t get daytime pics. They will this afternoon or most the time they do.
They are hitting the green fields pretty good. Need rain n them. The dew is keeping them going.

Then there is that being there. Maybe I’ll get lucky.
I’d rather be lucky than good I’ve heard many times.

The feed charts are not bad. But they are charts and just like the weather can’t predict it all.

But...

Along those same lines, the Georgia Department Of Natural Resources puts out a "Rut Map".

I have been using it either since it came out or as far back as I can remember and have found it to be VERY accurate.

If y'all have that up there and it was generated based on what Georgia DNR used for your state, you might want to check that out.

 

[RedFoxx]

well...i cant say this happens all the time cause i really have not been checking...but here is what the chart i found recently said for 10-30....he stayed over 30 minutes eating away...

I use one on my phone. It shows by day rating percentage also. I have killed more deer when it was 15% than 95% ratings on days. I hunt when I can either way.
