i have not noticed a huge amount of difference in deer activity due to moon phase, although i think it may alter their movements somewhat, winds and abnormal temps make a huge difference

I schedule my out of town hunts according to the moon.

During the rut the moon plays a very small part. I hunt all day during the rut.

hey, texarkanimal, i agree...great read so far. last season i kept track of deer spotted and the moon phase basically out of curiousity. looking back over my notes, i can tell that my sightings coincide with what charles alsheimer is saying...very cool...
