doesnt change anything for me

Maybe I can help. IN GENERAL. A full moon does effect the way deer feed and when they bed down. Generally deer will feed through out the night during a full moon and bed down earlier than during other moon phases. Occasionally you will see deer in the early morning, but I don't go out in the morning during a full moon. Midday, 10:30 to 1:00 where I hunt can be productive. Evening would be your best bet. I would allow four to five hours for evening hunts.
Good Luck!

And like I said, weather is the only thing that will change when I hunt. I'm not saying the moon doesn't have allot to do with deer movement, I just believe that if your not out there your lessoning your chances of getting anything. Deer move at different times for different reasons, but that monster may move different all together and I don't want to miss that chance of seeing/getting him.

If I were you, I would hunt longer in the morning. Bring an extra sandwich and water to help you stay out longer. You are missinga lot of hunting time by being out of the woods for 5-1/2hours.

I normally do not let the moon effect the times I hunt. You can't shoot them if you aren't out there. Especially since our season is only 4 weeks this year.

Absolutely does! Thanks for the proof, best response yet!

Come full moon I'm very rarely in the woods before 8 a.m. This season was the first season I saw a deer in the early morning during a full moon in a very long time. My count is probably at 3 deer that I've seen on full moon mornings.

By the way I think the full moon is on November 13th this season! OH BOY!The rut, afull moon,& still bow season! It's better than sex!

Ok went a little far with that one.

For me, what time the full moon rises and sets determines how I am going to hunt. If the full moon is still going to be up after day break, I hunt the mornings hard. However, if the full moon sets before daylight I tend not to hunt the morning, but instead get out around 10 or 11 and hunt until dark. It has always been my belief that if the moon (any phase) is in the sky, I want to me in the stand.

I don't have the luxury to be picky about when I hunt. I hunt whenever I get an oportunity, regardless of if the moon phase is best or not. But, most folks will say that the deer will move more during the middle of the day on a full moon. Between the hours of 10am and 2pm. Like I say though, I'm out there whenever I can be.
