Moon phase and position, matter?
OK guys, thanks to everyone who has helped out so far, this year, and last.
The results are in and some popular myths about the influence of the moon may be beginning to fade. I have made some comparisons of moon phase and position like I have been promising all year. They are located at

Please feel free to make any questions, suggestions or comments.
Thanks,
Johnnie

RE: Moon phase and position, matter?
Pretty much confirms what I've always felt. Hunt when you can but for sure during first light and last light. Hunt based on "Honey Do" list, wife's level of acceptance, and whenever I can.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> The only reason for me to stay in a stand past 10 or 11 is to avoid fore-mentioned Honey Do list.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> A boy has to eat. A couple hours at the house pretending you're really into the wifes conversation gets you points toward the afternoon hunt. Maybe we should pole the wifes on this to and see if there is any correlation between length of list, degree of procrastination and sightings. I'll bet there is.

Thanks for the info NC. That is real informative. It just confirms what I've benn telling my wife. There is more deer activity in the afternoon than in the morning. No need to get up at 4 am. Sleep in!

Well, um Bud, I am not trying to keep you from hunting in the AM
Personnally, I have seen more bucks in the PM hunt, but I have seen my BIGGEST bucks during am hunts. But I am sure that there are plenty of others with the opposite experience.

My guess is that more fellers hunt during the PM hrs. I don't go by the moon as much as I do the tidal charts...High tides = major feeds..Seems to be some correlation to it, for me anyhow..Now the moon does influence the tides..
