You are entitled to your opinion but, until you have hundreds of sighitng and times in relation to the lunar phase cycle, the sideral lunar cycle and the perirgee/apogee lunar cycle, I'm certainly not going to take your word for it. I can name at least 4 scientific studies that show peak sightings of deer during one or more of those cycles. So, some of it is not nonsense - meaning - as to peak monthly sightings.

It is nonsense when it come to the overheaed/underfoot position of the moon, proven in some of those same studies.

It is nonsense as to peak breeding dates, and I am the first person to prove it, and then I asked Dr. Karl Miller at the U GA to follow up on my research and he did, and came to the same conclusion, peak breeding of deer is not affected by moon phase.

As I keep saying, it is not of enough consequence for the average hunter to be worried about.

God bless,

T.R.
