RE: Moon Phases??
From my experience, I've seen more deer in the afternoon (11 A.M.-4 P.M.) when the moon is full. I 'googled' moon phases and the effect it has on deer and it backed up my experience. It said less deer/bucks where taken when the moon was full. That's because most hunters feel mornings and evenings is the best time to hunt. But in reality deer, for the most part, aren't necessarily "programmed" to feed mornings and evenings. They adjust accordingly due to moon phases and chemical make-up. It's instinct. If cool enough early in the year, try going out at 8-9 o'clock and hunt through the afternoon. It's really a matter of trial and error.
