No the full moon is not a bunch of molarchy it does happen about once a month. I know because I have seen it. LOL. All kidding aside I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you think the f moon is good or bad?

I tend to follow the whole second full moon after the autumnal equinox theory. It seem to predict the rut more often than not.

I agree with the second full moon theory. It always seems to be quite acurate.I am not sure about whether or not hunting a full moon is bad or not, but if the moon is rising in the evening, or falling in the morning, that's the time.

From my experiences, deer usually move late morning to early afternoon during a full moon. During a new moon, they tend to move most of the morning and evening.

Seems like here in Texas the first week of a new moon in November is the best.

I hunt when I can, but a lot of people swear by the full moon phase. I do believe that itis called the harvest moon. So, I try to be out there harvesting whenever I can.

THis has been my experience as well. I woke up one morning at 1 am and the moon was dead over head. I have heard that when it is dead over head or directly under foot, approx. 12 hours later ,it is the time to be out. I tested this theory out, and got to my proprty at 1pm, and by 1;15 had a nice 7 on the grounf dthat was chasing a doe. After seeing 2 other smaller bucks prior! I always hunt past midday on a fullmoon, and took 4 bucks ina row( over 2 seasons) between 11 am and 1 pm during a full moon.
