The way I see it is, I'm going to be hunting, full moon or not, so I don't care if it's full or not. In my experiences though, while hunting during a full moon I have seen most movement at 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and right at last light. I believe the temps have more to do with deer movement than anything.

Like it has be said before, this is especially important in fishing.
Lunar activity seems to affect all creatures. I once had a dog that would run crazy through the house during full moon times. A cat the same too. I'm not sure the specific effcts on deer and what not, but I'm sure there are some.

One thing I notice, a new moon and hunt all day, liable to see anything anytime. Full moon, and they bed all day. I sat last year all day and had littlerly 4 deer bedding 50 yards away. They didn't move but to get up and scratch and bearly feed around and go back down. As soon as 5PM rolled around, they were up and at em.
Tides seem to make a difference too. Seems if you live around ocean, notice if you see deer moving with high tide. Maybe crazy, but I have noticed a major feed around high tide.
During rut, all bets off, a buck will move all day all night looking for a hot doe.
