RE: Moon Phases
ORIGINAL: bloodcreek Dang it early :Dit's all about the moons location, not the phases [8D] Personally, I'll take a full moon over a new moon any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. I HATE hunting a new moon, I don't see jack squat. |

RE: Moon Phases
For those who say acertain moon phase will effect deer one way or the other, what happens when it's totally cloudy and the moon isn't visable? Then the moon really doesn't play any role, does it? This is whereI become skeptical about the whole thing. I'm still open minded though, and plan on readingup on it.

RE: Moon Phases
ORIGINAL: valor10 Post the "plenty of evidence" that is fact and not some clowns book or theory that leads people down this falsity. Deer move for a varaity of reasons, the moonis just one of them. Other than shedding light on on an otherwise dark night, I doubt the garvitational/rotationaleffect the moon has on the tides has anything to do with deer. Wives tales! I personally don't care if anyone else believes it, or uses it...but I will for the rest of my hunting life. I don't care about the phase, but do care about the position, and certain positions correlate with certain phases (ie - full and new moon periods have moon transits during mid-day and mid-night). While I didn't consult NASA, I did utilize the Navy Observatory's "Sun and Moon data for a day" website...to come up with this: Starting on the 24th, the transit will be 1000 (assuming I have my location and time zones right). Each day the transit generally is later by 55 minutes. It will be about 1400 on the last day of the hunt. If it were me... - First day or two: I would start off the week concentrating on morningsup until noon, with little emphasis on the first hour or so of daylight, but concentrating on the 1000-1200 period, and be backout for late evening hunt. - Middle of the hunt, first hour, 1030-1330 (emphasis), last hour. - End of hunt, 1200 to dark, emphasis on 1200-1400. -I would be spending the mid-day times in the brush near bedding areas, or funnel areas betwand them,, but not on open food sources like fields. Though if there is not much pressure, and the rut is still kicking some, the open areas could produce.Thinkof it like this...deer will have the urge to be on their feet at the times of emphasis I pointed out. Where will they feel comfortable on their feet at those times in the area you will be hunting? Answer that, and you havewhere I would be spending my time. If you sit all day...which is probably smartest, I would put money on the bulk of deer movements being withiin the times I posted above. |

RE: Moon Phases
I believe that weather plays a much bigger role in effecting deer movement. I don't discount the moon's effects. Ask a policeman or emergency room doctor. They will verify the moons effects on people. So why not other animals.
Here is another interesting obsevation. The deer must be effected by something because have you ever noticed that when the deer are on the move you see them everywhere. when their not you don't see many. Its like they somehow coordinate their movement times. Since they don't have phones or the internet something must be coordinating their movement.:D |
RE: Moon Phases
Some of the greatest activity I have seen is in late October and early November when the moon rises around 12PM-1PM and there is a front with dropping tempuratures. Not sure how many people in here have ever noticed, but it seems like the deer are extremely active when this happens.
