I swear at it.....the moon can really mess up movement at times.

I don't think about the moon much. I just swear at warm weather in early to mid November.

Yep. I see a full moon and I generally don't go out unless the weather is perfect.

Yes. Last year there was a full moon on or around November 4th and 5th.....absolutely perfect cold and calm mornings and I didn't see shit!

I think you will notice some midday activity on a full moon, but mornings and evenings tend to suck in general.

The past couple of years I resorted to sleeping in on those full moon days. I'd hunt from 9 am until noon. I'd usually see some late morning activity when the deer has to get up and stretch on it's morning walk. Try it, it works.

Both. I swear AT the moon... But I'm also a believer in the rutting moon's triggering of the rut. Some may think Charlie Alsheimer is full of BS, but my hunts seem to support his theories year after year.

I've seen pictures of Chad's walls.

Well it really has nothing to do with the moon. I hunt right through the full moon and dark moon both. You can't kill them if you aren't hunting. It seems though the full moon really dicks up hunting during the early morning and late afternoon.

I base most of my theories on dates rather than moon phases, which would be a good topic to discuss.

Just to clarify my comment wasnt laughing at him believing it....I do not have enough knowledge to form my own solid opinion 1 way or the other..A few seasons in the woods is not enough..That is why i make threads like these

I agree completely.

Last year I went from seeing 3 or 4 deer a night to 0 during a full moon. that is only based on one year on one small piece of land, but I'll tell you it wasn't that much fun not seeing any deerz.

I hate full moon days... I think they do most of their moving at night and I usually see very minimal movement in morning and evening during these days.

 

[Milo]

I hunt around it. I have been keeping a few notes over the years and i have noticed a big trend over the years but i am not Mr alsheimer.

 

[Big_Holla]

I usually plan all day sits when the full moon is here, especially when it happens in early November. Often I see that midday activity I hope for.

 

[Beentown]

I hate it because I hate huntin mid days.

Swear at it. The worst thing that can happen is a cold snap in early November then it warms up the next week with a full moon. Between the full moon amd the warm days they chase at night.

Even coon hunting sucks durring a full moon. The dogs start hunting more with their eyes than their nose.

 

[RedCloud]

I don't like the full moon. Give me the week before a full moon and we are good lol.
