I gotta tell ya, I'm excited about the weekend of the 2nd and the 3rd. Not only will it be a new moon, but it will rise and set at the same time as the sun and be directly overhead at mid day. i hope a front comes through as well, that could be magic.

Thanks. Just the kind of info I was looking for to see if this moonrise/set thing has any traction.

Sunday evening I didn't see one deer from 4:15 - dark, until I walked out into the field and there was something out there that bound off, I couldn't tell what it was. Other than that nadda!!
Sunday I seen a doe step out of the woods at 5pm and go right back in. She came back out at 6:10pm and milled around until 6:30pm when she ran back to the treeline. I seen a buck come out at 6:45pm and that must have been wheat spooked her. He came out and hit a scrape and started skirting the field edge.
Alright fellas... Many of us are debating on days off from work. Leaving weather out of the equation, what days are best for movement based on moon phases and rise/set?
Many of us are debating on days the week of Nov. 4 or the week of Nov. 11.
Let's hear some thoughts. What days do you think will be best based on the solunar table?

Try this link http://www.solunarforecast.com/solunarcalendar.aspx, I use it and it's free but catch is you cannot adjust the month only the zip code info. Right now with it still being October as soon as it rolls to November on Friday you should be able to view the peak times and best days to hunt.
Fri. Nov 8th and Saturday Nov. 9th should be good.
November 8th
Moon is directly under at 5:53 am and the sun is rising at 7:13 am

I will be out both of those days, but I sure am hoping the week before is good too, as that is when I decided to take vacation. So I will be in the stand from this Sat. 11/2 till the following Sun 11/10. I am nervous about my decision though.

Still betting on sunday the third. Sun and moon rise at the same time. Moon is overhead at mid day. I will be out all day.
Just something to ponder Mike. Seems that lockdown rears its ugly head during the first week or so in November and I've noticed the bigger bucks are out cruising more during the second and third weeks after getting their first nut. Just my opinion buddy. Just hunt as much as you can! Lol
Found a cool site just incase you have a dumb phone like mine lmao.

The moon times on Christmas day look awesome. I can't think of anywhere else to be closer to my maker on Christmas day then in the woods.

Quick question. If you had the option to hunt the week of the full moon or the week after the full moon, which would you choose? In November that is.
