a lot of the deer hunting magazines have the chart in them. I know Deer and Deerhunting has it in theres.

it does have a lot to do with the feeding of all game,not just deer.if you watch it and hunt by it, you will be surprised.it is just the old way of knowning what things are gonna do durning the day of the mo. The Farmers Almunac also has all the moon phases.

I know from personal experances , it helps to know where and what the moon is doing.

I use this site to find out what time I need to set my alarm for on the next day. It also gives you all the moon phases and times you may be looking for.

Thanks for the site MQ1, looks good. My uncle has a GPS the tells him when the best deer movement will be and he says it is right on. I may put some time into this.

I definitely believe the moon plays a part in deer behavior. Probably the easiest thing I have observed over the years is how much the full moon curtails their movement at the typical peak times of dawn and dusk.

Full moon has always been a slow time for me
