I've got a friend who says when he followed the lunar schedule hunting as you describe, he saw more game movement than ever, not just deer. He's used a similar calculation every year with success since then, so I think there is something to be said for it.

A quick question though. Are you supposed to hunt during the moonrise / moonset? For example, you mention that moonset is at around 10:07 on the 30th. Does that mean you should be in the woods for this time? Or would hunting that evening be good too. I guess what i'm wondering is if the whole day is good for hunting when these conditions occur.

(BTW: I'm in southern NY and so the times you mention are very close to what it is here. Thanks for the info!)
