Hunting around a full moon a waste of time?
 

The last few days I haven' t been seeing any deer during legal hunting time but lots of new scrapes and rubs made at night. We have alot of snow and a full moon so you can actually see your shadow at midnight!
Because it is so bright at night I think the deer have no reason to travel during the day. Should I just wait till the nights get darker? Anyone have this experience?

Saw more deer the past two days than at any other time of the season. The rut is on here in PA so I really don' t think the deer care about the moon right now. The lure of procreation is keeping the bucks up on their feet...

I hunted here in Alabama on Saturday from daylight ' til noon... didn' t see a deer. I wasn' t hunting in a thick enough place. Whether it rains, snows, or a full moon, deer will eat. I just need to hunt the nearest food sources to the bedding areas... no matter how insignificant the food source seems.

I dont know, last season, I seen 14 bucks in one day during the full moon and rut. It seems mid-day is a good time during a full moon. Yesterday, I seen quite a few deer also.

To me, its nice sneeking in in the dark under a full moon. Dont have to use a light. Going hunting is never a waste of time, you can' t shoot em at home. A lot of deer are killed each year at the strangest times and places.

The 2 biggest bucks that I have ever saw were during a full moon. So you can bet I am on stand during a full moon!
