jbeste and bowhuntert,

my experience has been similar on moons. I'm probably not going to hunt the moon, but I will pay attention to it, and it may help in a coin toss.

whitetaildreamer, appreciate that about barometer. I know a lot of fishermen like to fish the barometer. I personally have seen a lot of deer right before rain or during a slack in the rain. If I know it has been raining a while (especially all night), I want to be on the stand when the rain stops. One, you are in there undetected, and two, if they have been hunkered down during rain, there is more chance of movement. That's me trying to think like a deer

I do have 2 places to hunt, but the better place is the weekend/long distance place, so I want to reserve those points with the wife for my best opportunities. I'm about to have to give up watching football just to be able to seriously chase the deer. [:@]
