The October Harvest Moon, a supermoon and the first of three this year, may enhance deer hunting in New York by influencing deer behavior and breeding cycles, making early October an advantageous time for hunters during the rut period.
A South Carolina alligator hunter caught an 11-foot gator with a fully formed 3x3 antler from a whitetail buck deer lodged in its mouth. The antler was still attached to a bone, indicating that the deer was killed or scavenged by the gator. The incident surprised the hunters and the staff at Cordray's, a meat processing business, who had never seen anything like it before. It highlights the destructive power of alligators and suggests that the gator may have grabbed the deer while it was drinking water.
