Default RE: Moon phase and deer movement

I just read an article, can't remember where...but it had to be one of my magazines. ANYWAY, they tried to prove some of these theorys/statements by a bunch of "EXPERTS" who were big Moon Junkies. The final results was, there are too many variables. Even when things were perfect to prove the moon theory.... it didn't happen regularly enough to be taken as fact. Nothing more than "Chance" odds. My advice, which has been proven...NOT!!!.... is to go whenever you can. You can't kill them sitting in the house. Deer get up and feed throughout the day and night. When they've fed for a while the flop and chew the cud. For all you spot lighter fokes...how many times have you pulled out into a field and turned on a light to find all the deer belly down taking a snooze. They quite often just flop inside the woodline and get up and feed when they feel like it through out the night. Even when they slink off to their daytime "Bedding areas" they still get up and urinate, munch a little and retire again. They just don't travel as far as they do at night.
