I had a little laugh after looking at the solunar calendar presented by OODMAG. https://www.oodmag.com/wp-content/up...r_web-2017.pdf
It seems that except for Monday and maybe the last day of rifle season for deer the animal activity will be at a low point. I'm certain the MNRF consulted this data when it set the season.
Good luck everyone hunting in the next two weeks!

First 2 full weeks of November has always been the rifle season!
Learn to push bush. It doesnt matter a hoot what the solunar table says then.
Doesn't matter what the Solunar table says, period. It's pure hokum.

More deer are shot under a full moon because guys push the envelope and stay out a little longer because they can still see. So a myth was born; hunting is better during the full moon. LOL.
Yeah the MNR really can see the future...the first Monday in November has always been opening day ever since I've been hunting and tht's been well over 45 years! Overall there has only been 1 or 2 years that we didn`t harvest a deer or three!
The only variable to deer hunting is the weather; it's been a few years but I remember having to sweep the snow off the tree stand the first morning and I have sat in that same stand in a T-shirt on opening day.
All the rest is in sync, deer go into rut the same time year after year and will chase does. Weather might alter their activity, but they will still mate, eat and sleep, all you have to figure out where they are doing that to be successful.
Solunar tables are not meant to be followed but to be used as a guide line. Like (MikePal) said Deer still have to eat, sleep and and breed regardless of what the solunar charts say. I would watch the weather and pay more attention to the barometric pressure when hunting and fishing.
Hahaha pushing bush is the best! Hunting is fun too!Quote:

I always laugh when I see whitetail rut predictor calculators and crap...its always the same time every year, who is publishing this crap that doesnt know anything about deer hunting.
Those wouldn't happen to be the guys that pay "uncased firearms" tickets,would they? LOLQuote:
