Same experience with the late hunter moon in years past I missed the action by a week. I guess bottom line is regardless if we disagree or agree on what's causing the rut to happen we'll both be in the treestands at the same most years and see great activity, I just have not seen where Alsheimers therory is hard fact when the moon is early or late, This means he is seen to be right most years, but not all in my mind.
