Default RE: ESPN's "best time to hunt" chart for October

I don't take much stock in them. I've always heard the best deer movement occurs when the moon is overhead. If this is true, then on the days you mentioned, the best movement will be in the middle of the night. Not too good in my book. I've experienced in the past that a full moon means less movement during the daylight hours. I'm going to be hunting anyway, full moon or not. I usually see more daylight activity on thenew moon or the 2nd quarter, meaning that Oct. 21-29 should be the best times out during the morning to late morning hours. I'm no expert on this, but I'm just going on what I have experienced in the field in the past.Like I said, I don't care if the moon is full or not, if the solunar tables say don't go or go, I'm going hunting anyway. Let us know if you saw activity those days you were off. Best of luck to you.
