That moonphase stuff is nonsense. I worked nights for over 20 years, and drove home through Bucks County Pa. between 2:00 and 4:00 in the morning. On moonlit nights I almost never saw deer. On the darkest rainy nights I saw every thing out moving. Deer, fox, coon, possum, anything nocturnal. As far as mid day, I shot a lot of buck between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. and it had nothing to do with moonphase. They just move at those times. The doe are on a different time table where I hunt. Like everybody else said, there are so many variables involved in certain areas that the moon phase is irrelevant. I would not put too much stock in research results, as most of it was done with semi-tame deer. The slightest bit of pressure on a deer that has a few years experience will change research results in a hurry. Now researchers say deer can see certain colors. What took them so long to figure that out?
