RE: Moon Phases
As a deer researcher I can tell you that moon position has little to nothing to do with hourly deer movement. The full moon doesn't occur until October 21, so that doesn't work either. What does determine deer movement on a daily basis is the weather. If it's too hot, too cold, too windy, too wet, or too bright, the deer won't do what they would normally do. blackhawlk is sright, the more time you spend payting attention to the deer, the more you'll learn. Write down the temp, dwindchil, heat index, wind speed and direction, precipitation and the times and places you saw deer, and you will begin to be able to predict deer activity.
