I am curious to hear what you folks have to say about this moon phase.
Thisseason when I head to Alberta for my Bow Zone hunt,I will be there from Nov 24th-29th. During this weekthe moon will be going from a last quarter moon phase into a new moon. Basiclly, there's going to be dark nights all week.
It doesn't matter to me either way, because this is when I've scheduled my hunt, but I'd like to hearyour thoughts. Especially the moon guru's!

While each deer may be independant...As a whole there is plenty of evidencein support ofthe theories related to game travel based on moon phase/location.
Someone else can fill in the rest, Im watching Oceans 12 and Catherine Zeta-Jones...OMG !!
Post the "plenty of evidence" that is fact and not some clowns book or theory that leads people down this falsity. Deer move for a varaity of reasons, the moonis just one of them. Other than shedding light on on an otherwise dark night, I doubt the garvitational/rotationaleffect the moon has on the tides has anything to do with deer. Wives tales!

No scientific evidence what so ever to estabilsh moon phases have any impact on deer movement. Maybe werewolves .

valor is correct, there is no scientific proof for deer movement relative to the phase of the moon. There is however to the position of the moon, not phase. There can however be more movement at night on full moon but that doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, half, quarter, new means squat.
I think its the New moon that I have had much lower sightings when bow hunting. It don't matter if its, elk, deer, bear that I'm hunting. I'll have to check back on my notes but I'm pretty sure its the New moon thats always gave me trouble.
The moon has a huge effect on animal movement!!! More then people think I believe.

This thread was not intended to be a contest to see who's got evidence
or not, reguarding moon phases and their effects on deer, orlack there of. If you're a non believer, just say so, and let that be that. There are plenty of books on this subject. One that was given to me to read is called Moon Struck, by Jeff Murray with Myles Keller, which I haven't read yet.
I have never been a big believer in moon phases, and how they might effect deer, and their movements. I still listen to what others have to say about it though! I likekeep an open mind.
