Default RE: how will the moon affect elk?

I agree with TR, not that he needs me to back him up. Simply put the rut is not affected by the moon. However if the moon is out they will be a little more active at night. That means they will bed a little sooner in the morning and get up a later in the evening. But they still should be screaming and responding to calls. Their hormones don' t shut off when the sun comes up. You just have to be a little more aggressive, thats all.
