I believe there's some misinterpretations and conceptions. Work off the new moon, not the full moon. The new moon issues has been the thrust of research done by Dr. Al. As his research has indicated, as has my observances for more than thirty years, the second NEW moon after the fall solstice is magic time, give or take a couple of days either side of it. This year, it happens later than usual is all.

And like I say with my signature, all the research and all the skill means nothing, if your not in the right place at the right time. and you increase those odds by being in the woods as much as possible, bottom line.

Good stuff, helped me decide when I was using my last couple vacation days :)
