Moon phases are very important although I still go out and hunt no matter what. I have kept a log for the past six seasons as to weather, temp and moon. I have included my son's info in this log also. The info I have collected shows a clear upswing in deer movement during the new moon and a clear, severe down swing during periods of a full moon.

I have found no changes for the "full moon syndrome" with the only exception being a SEVERE weather front approaching within a 12 hour period. Temperature changes doesn't seem to make a difference in a full moon but does have somewhat of an affect on new moon.
