Default Does the moon phase affect your hunting?

Does it change how when or where you hunt?

I've got a moon phase guide and as an example on the 30th of September it tells me that the "Excellent" time to hunt is between 2:54 and 4:54 in the morning.

No not really..."Work Phase" and "Family Phase" have enough influence on me, that if I have a window to hunt...I'm going.

I planned my trip to MO for my based on the moon phase. More specifically, I planned it so I wouldn't be hunting during the full moon. I don't know how much it matters, but I never have much luck during a full moon.

full moon hunting usually gets the deer moving in the middle of the day here, like between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm
