The best time to hunt is any time you have time. For some reason, though I like it when the moon comes up before the sun goes down. I put out a camera this fall and put out corn and kept track of when the deer came to the corn for about a month and the only pattern was the time of day or night, nothing to do with the moon. I charted out the times when the moon was overhead and under foot and could see no pattern whatsoever.
