WE had a full moon when we hunted elk the first week of November also . The elk would be out for the first hour at sunrise but did not come back out until the last few minute before dark( after legal shooting hours ) each day . The first few days it was cloudy and we had a snow storm come through and we saw more elk moving around , then it cleared and with that large moon was so bright and with snow on the ground you could see almost perfect all night long .
