Well, ive finally gotten 12 months worth of deer pics. I sat down today and drew up a chart of the dates and times the pictures were taken as well as the moon phases during those times. My conclusion, Alot more daytime movement from 4 days before to 2 days after a new moon. This has been consistant throughout the entire year. Very few pics during the full moon except a few very late morning to early afternoon near bedding areas. Im going to continue the charting through February and am also going to include the weather on each day.
Has anyone else correlated the data from your game cameras?

Thanks for sharing that info,Benhuntin. I suspected as much and will change my hunting times accordingly! Even late evening hunting seems unproductive with that full moon hanging over you.

I have always heard and noticed that you see more deer without moon. Supposedly it is because they can see at night. Thanks for your info. It is helpfull to all.

As soon as I complete the chart I will try and figure out how to put it on the board.
I might have to send it to someone here that knows a little more about that stuff.
I want to get a few months more data before I post it.
