Have really noticed a fall off in deer activity in my area past 4 days. Anyone else experiencing the same?? Guessing full moon, warm weather making move at night. Just curious what everybody else is seeing.

yep.
Im not a big fan of thoughts like "October lull" but it seems to happen for just a brief time each and every year.
This year is especially bad .... record high temps and a full moon have put the brakes on most deer sightings for me.
Had planned on hunting every day until the start of gun starting this afternoon but I hate to burn vacation time on 80* days and wind.

High wind and temps next couple of days won't help either. But all Hell will brake loose soon, later in the week dropping temperatures and it's getting closer to primetime every day. I have been holding off, just kinda keeping tabs on my area and intend to hunt every day after the cool down. Usually tag out on or around the sixth of Nov.

Yes, I have experienced the exact same thing on my property. Surpressed is a great word to use. Very noticeable change.
I too agree it is the weather, wind, etc....I am sure it will change in the next week and half or so.

Same thing - always around the full moon in Oct it slows for me - but on a good note - temps are going to drop by the end of this week - Thurs/Fri should be when things get started.

I agree. Halloween weekend is usually when things really pick up in our woods. Rubs will be everywhere.

Don't need the wind but need all the rain we can get. On the bright side, the wind should knock lose all those late acorn's and with cooler temps maybe this will jump start the big boy's labido and get the rut going. CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!! Tired of watching squirrl's and racoon's.

My wife called me this morning and told me there were 4 deer out the back door - 1 big doe, 1 medium doe, and 2 fawns. She said one of the does was easily withing shooting range out the back door. About 15 minutes or so later all hell broke loose with the weather. I wouldn't have wanted to be in the stand then.
