Had deer out in the top field around 8:00 tonight while I was doing a little shooting,the moon did not seem to be altering there feeding pattern. What are your thoughts??

Craig,   I hunt the full like any other way I hunt... any chance I get, I'm out in the woods.

I was watching it tonight while being serenaded by coyotes, Killdeer and crickets.

Deer feed every 2 to 4 hours no matter what the moon is doing. If you follow a solunar table it allows for any moon phase.

I personally  spend more time in the woods mid-day when one of these glo-balls are hanging in the sky. We all have our own ideas about this and I personally think it  messes with movement.


                                         Good Shooting,

I am more of a Mid-day hunter on the full moon phase, until the  rut then I stay all day if possible.

Craig,  Great close up image of the Super Moon!  I guess that I tend to see a few more deer and other critters in the midday hours during a full moon but I don't change my hunting strategy.

And I cant see it. cloudy and storming..at least maybe I'll get some sleep

Thanks Charles. I found out how steady I am "not" last night. That was at a 15x zoom. Awesome moon. Nothing in the top fields or any fields on my way home from work this evening. Hmmmm...


                                       Good Shooting,

I spent the last couple of nights stalking pigs by the moon light. It was great fun, exciting. Especially when you can hear them in the shadows only a few yards away.

I ended up with two nice eaters, 60-80lbers. I did find though that picking a spot was much harder and I lost some accuracy….tended to put my arrow higher than i wanted.

Got charged at one stage and clean missed oncoming pig at maybe 3 yards.    Lucky it was of A size I could deal with.
Anyway great fun. Just have to work on it a bit.

Me personally I don't like hunting in the evenings during a full moon ,but I still hunt regardless!  I see more activity late morning

[Jerry Jeffer]

I try to get out only very early, first couple hours of light, and in the evening last hour or so. It also depends on when the moon rises and sets.
