siletassassin the numbers are gathered deer from me hunting, my game camera and friends cameras and from hunters in my group.

The deer can not be counted if they are jumped from bedding. Typically everything is seen from the stand.

The two other response help explain it more. 2004 is movement is determined by the last 10 years of keeping records.

When I am putting this into the computer I have know way to know wheather it will just throw out everything I have come to know as true.

But having plugging in additional 143 viewed 03 the only big change from all years past is the new moon has changed places with full moon and first quarter change places with last quarter, but the number are what I still believe to be within reason and still are 70% to 30% over phases to fulls.

Will be glad to answer more if this does not clear it up. Be sure and check out the moon facts alot of reading but I find it interesting.
