RE: New Moon vs Full Moon
Your graph supports what Kammermeyer found in his 1975 Ph D thesis project on white-tailed deer, what Lewis and Shea found in their 1986 study of sambar deer, in what Halls found on white-tailed deer in 1984, what Kroll and Koerth found in their study of white-tailed deer, and what I found in my 1994 study of white-tailed deer. I will send you the graph. Deer activity is highest during the full moon phase!!!!!
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm going with the biologist, not the theorists.
The Nov. full moon runs from the 17-24. That's when I will be looking for bucks that are looking for remaining unbred does after our rut here in MN (which peaks Nov 7-15).
