Default RE: whitetail hunting by the moon

First off, there never is a bad time to be in the woods, but with that being said, there are times that are better than others. Where i hunt, i have noticed that during the full moon, the deer move alot more during the night which means that the morning hunts are not that productive. I still go out and hunt in the mornings cause you never know, i still see deer, but just not the normal amount. Nights are still productive for me on the full moon. Last season was the first one that i ever kept track of the moon, but cause of all sorts of obligations, i could not pull any all day hunts, so i had very little time in the stand during the middle of the day during the full moon, but one day while i was out helping a buddy track a deer he shot that morning i did see a few does and a great 8 point on their feet in the middle of the day on a full moon. It was also in the middle of november so that may have helped get them up as well. Either way, you cant shoot them on your couch, so get out whenever you can, you never know.
