I use to follow all that moon phase stuff years ago back in the early 90's when it first came out on the "wheel". I then found myself dependent on it. I also found myself becoming lazy because I started to let a "wheel" dictate where I hunted, when I hunted and IF I hunted.
I have found that hunting season is so short anyway, I chucked the dang thing and hunted regardless. You know what, I was killing deer well enough. LOL!
Anyway, there are better times to hunt, in as far as the moon's size and position is concerned, so they say, but I since forgot all that, so if you're curious, I hope someone can offer up that info.
Good luck,

I have killed deer later in the morning and on into the noon hour but I'm with you the moon phase time schedule for game movement is crap! I was just wondering if some of ya'll may have found out something other than what I knew that hunting a full moon is tough. Can't say I'll stay in and drink beer but I bet I'll have a few shots of whiskey.....strictly for medicinal pourposes of course.

I actually am set up that way. I live on 60ac and lease the surrounding 110. There is a big hay medow between my house and the tree line that I planted about 3ac of Monster Mix on. I did this so while my wife and I are taking turns hunting and watching the 2yr and 4yr old the one that is not on stand can technically still hunt...however comfortable it may be.
