I also agree. If we have snow on the ground with the full moon and clear skies, the day time movement is very light since visiblity is so good during the night time hours. On a bright mooned night with snow, we usually get about 10 more minutes of shooting light though. I really haven't paid much attention to the phases, other than full and new moon, but there is a ton of literature on the subject and i think alot of it boils down to whether you believe it or not. With the rut going on, I think that time in teh stand will pay off, no matter what the moon is doing.
