I don't know but at work all this week where you can't hunt I've seen 50's of deer out in the fields from 11 or so till about 1 in the afteernoon. On my way in to work(5-530am and dark with moon riseing)and on the same groundsI see them laying in the fields where the headlights go. Any other time on the way in they were up and about and I would see a few during during those for mentioned hours. So I guess you could say it was the moon, don't know. I too believe as Rob in the positition of the moon more so than the phase of it even though the moon was 3/4 or moreacross the sky during these daylight sightings.
