Elk and the full moon
I am considering an archery hunt for elk in New Mexico with an outfitter. The week I am looking at falls during the full moon period. I've hunted whitetails for over 30 years and during the pre-rut and rut it is difficult to hunt mature bucks during the full moon, as they tend to move after dark. Is this true of elk too? This will be the hunt of a lifetime for me (I hope!!) and I don't want to do a hunt during a time when animal movement is not at it's best because of the moon phase. Thanks in advance for any help!!
