Default RE: The moon?

I don't really hunt by the moon or use a moon guide or anything. I am aware however of its position. In my experience, I try to hunt on the rising moon. I have found that in a new moon phase, morning hunting seems to be best. In the full moon phase, I have found that deer move best in the evening. Also in the full moon phase I have found it tough to hunt in the early morning, and deer will start to move around 10-11.

Another factor that I follow is if there is a very dark night in any phase of the moon followed by a bright morning. Deer movement will ussually be good.

But there are other factors that also that must be considered for these mentioned things to work including temperature and warm and cold fronts.
