RE: Moon, Deer, Rut 2004 Movement
cpahunter, I do not believe in the moon guides, charts etc that predict the best time of day. Plus sometimes they predict the best time to be 2:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. that time is only good for the no so legal individuals.
I only stray a little with time of day and that is only when the moon is bright and in the sky as the sun comes up will extend feeding hours because on no dark to light transition.
I deal with days of the week or weeks of the month. Only because of the amount of light.
quarter moon phases in my numbers are the best days to hunt but typically allows for more extend light.
Deer under my research move every day but have over 5 years move more on quarter phase moons 70% of the time over the 30% of the time for full and new moon phases.
