All I know is there will be a New Moon/no Moon the first week of Nov. It will be super dark going in in the mornings. I love it!

The wildlife biologists that put gps collars on deer have never found any significant association of movement (rut or not) with moon phase. That being said, if it works for you, then go for it...
