Default RE: Full Moon

According to deer researchers T.R. Michels and Kent Kammermeyer, deer movement peaks during the week of the full moon (1-7 days before) and last quarter (in that order). T.R.tates that he even saw more domimant buck movement during those time frames.

But, he states thatthe weather (espceially), hunting pressure, the rut and available forage will, and does, completely override any influence the moon has on deer. He says that the moon should be your least worry.

Hunt deer based on on the weather conditions each day - not the moon.
