Just to throw my 2 cents in,keep in mind this year is my first elk hunt, but I do know a lot about hunting whitetails during the peak of the rut and one thing I think screws up your plans is the full moon. This year Sept. 18 is the full moon and I'm willing to bet that elk will be more nocturnal during the full moon phase just like whitetails. Some of you elk hunters may know better but it just seems this would be the case. Any opinions on this hypothesis?
