Does the moon phase effect deer movement? Appears not.

Study shows a complete reversal of general thoughts on moon phase and deer movement.

Wonder what Adam Hayes has to say about that...

Hell Adam is gonna say the moon does effect deer so he can sell his moon guide for his jacked up price gouge since he bought the rights to it. Lol

Jessica's grandpa is the only hunter I have ever heard of that felt a full moon was GOOD for deer movement.

Deer movement at night!

The Moon Guide and Adam Hayes theories on the moon(technically it is Jeff Murrays theories) Have absolutely nothing to do with the full moon. It has to do with the moons positioning in the sky during peak movement times. I have numerous bucks that I killed long before I knew about the red moon theories, that when I researched back were all on red moon days. Its too much to be coincidental in my mind. I don't live and die by it, but youre crazy to not be in the woods on those days if you can pull it off!!!

I have mixed feelings on this

With all the other variables hunter face, moon phase is probably low on the list, I still try to aviod hunting full moons and try to be in the stand following overcast, fog or dark dark nights

A good high pressure day with the moon underfoot or overhead during peak hours, I'm climbing up a tree...
