I must say i have a fit with deer and the full moon, deer seem to move early in the day then then nothing during what should be peak times.How about you guys and what do you do to get more action?
I'm in the woods. every chance I get reguardless of moon phase, u can't kill them in the house. I have had very good sightings during a full moon though, more so in the morning.
I hunt closer to bedding and make sure the winds good for both me and the deer im hunting.... or just stay at home and try to keep some kind of peace with the wife
During full moon phases I still hunt but I tend to sleep in a little and usually get on stand more towards the late morning for those mid-day hunts.
I pay little attention to it in terms of whether or not I will hunt or when I'll hunt. I too, have had very good luck during a full moon. The deer are still there. The moon didn't zap them.
For me a full moon only means that I will be able to get into my stand in the morning with more ease. Otherwise I usually have to turn the head lamp on to get things set up with the climber... It's easier for me to move around undetected in the morning, I can see each step I am taking and so on. For that reason I prefer a full moon actually.
Typically, I see more along the roads to and from hunting properties, but less while in stand during full moons. I prefer just the opposite as the deer seem to return to their beds later and get up earlier where I hunt. During the rut phases though mid-day hunts can produce regardless of moon phase!
I don't like a full moon. But, I cannot control it and my work schedule. So, to answer your question, I really don't care. I love to hunt the rut, and when a doe come into heat, I can promise you the moon phase does not control a rutting buck. Just Hunt!
I don't adjust my hunting times as to moon phase. I do pay attention to it but still go when I want :D
