Default RE: A full moon good for hunting or bad?

Everyone has there own opinions about this, and I have always been a skeptic until this year. There are four people that primarily hunt our property, so this year we kept track of every time someone was in a stand. We stored all the data in an excel spreadsheet. At the end of Nov. I was going through some of the data, as far as moon phases go. During the full moon phase(3 days before to 3 days after the full moon) our deer sighting in the AM almost doubled and in the PM hunts they almost tripled. Also 3/4 of the mature bucks we had seen were seen during the full moon phase. A few more in the PM. Take it for what its worth. I talked to a guy that has been keeping track of this same kind of data for 34 years and he said he has seen the same kind of patterns.
