I wouldn't pay much attention to that. You can't get one sleeping!

I've never had much luck around a full moon. When I do see deer it is usually in the afternoon.

even the guys that came up with deer hunting around the moon phases will tell you that the weather has alot more to do with deer movment then the full moon!!deer move during the night any way what does a little more light do. my sugestion is to hunt as much as you can during the season definitly during the rut no matter what the moon is doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the moon is full, I still hunt because you never know when or why deer move, especially during the rut. I see less deer during a full moon and I believe it is because the moon makes it seem lighter, earlier in the morning, so they seem to bed earlier. It also makes it stay light longer in the evening, so they seem to bed longer before coming out in the evening. I hope this makes sense.

Supposedly, deer move more at mid day during a full moon, but I don't hunt a lot during this time.

During the rut, it makes absolutely no difference if the moon is ful or not, if their hormones are raging, they arent going to stop just because the moon isnt full. It CAN effect them, make them run harder because of better sight and what-have-you, but the rut is the rut, they run come hell or high water. They want a hot doe more than they care about how effective their eyesight is...

Now, if someone could just get the deer to read the results of all these studies and follow the rules we've laid down for them, hunting would be a whole lot easier!

I will tell you something I have noticed.If there is a full moon or a day on either side of the full moon I always see twice as many deer from 11:30
till 3:00. That is why most pepole dont see as many on full moon because
thier movement is more inthe middle of the day.They seem to move more
all night then lay down for a while in the morning.Get up and move till right
up till a couple hours before dark,lay down again and get up right at dark.
Of course you will still have some deer thatWILL MOVE NO MATTER WHAT!!If the doe a buck is with moves guess what he is going to move!!
The doe movement dictates everything this time of year!!
