Is the morning after a full moon a good time to hunt?

I like every morning except when raining or gusting more than 20 MPH.

One of my friends send something to me a long long time ago that really stuck with me. This was when I was trying to harvest my first deer and wasn't having success.

If you spend the time, it'll happen.

I probably spend more time in the stand than most people, but if you spend the time it does happen.

For me, I hunt whenever I can. Sometimes I hunt midday, for 2 hours, whatever I have the time...

Full moon, half moon, quarter moon, no moon...if my tag is in my pocket, I'll be hunting.

I tend to shy away from full moon periods if I have a choice, but if you hunt it I think those that do would recommend to include the  10AM-2PM time frame.  Either sleep late or just stay out late, but midday seems to be the recommended time during full moons.

Personally, I am a hunter that needs a break sometime during the day. I usually do not stay in stand from daybreak to night fall without a few hours break. What I do in the full moon phase is sleep in and go out for a very long late morning/afternoon/evening hunt.

Well seems they have really started to move about 2 hours after sunrise...8 ish. Not sure how long this goes on for since I have to go to work.

The does were really active this morning. But active like 200 yards away danggit.

I LOVE hunting the full moon during the rut!!!!

I go out at Daylight and hunt till 1 or 1:30 ...unless there is still deer movement....I eat my lunch and am back on stand at 3.

I'm with Terry on this one.  Anything goes this time of year but a full moon throws in a little more excitement.

I hunted with a friend of mine Sat morn...and told him not to start out till 12.....and at 11:09 the biggest buck he's ever seen came along bird doggin with his nose to the ground straight at him.

My friend decided to take a pee down wind of the trails I'd set him up between....and when he finished he walked back and hoped over the trail and too another step and he heard him coming.

All was perfect....Nicest buck of your life going to pass on trail not 4 yards from your blind....but your not in it...but you BOW IS!!!!!

Yep, he's still a little green.....I told him....NEVER LEAVE YOUR BOW!!!

Anyhow, the buck finally smells him as he walks along till he's FOUR FEET from him.  He took home a great lesson....and a greater memory.

Another reason to love ground blinds!!When you gotta go, just go. No fuss, no muss, and best of all, no missed opportunity.

I worked with a biologist on a local gun hunt this weekend where in a controlled area where all the deer come into a check station.  The moon is nearly full right now and we had a very slow morning until about 11am - all of a sudden the guys started bringing deer in.  Almost all the deer killed Saturday with guns was between 10 am and noon.  A couple of nice bucks were in the take.  The deer also moved again just before dark that evening.

Any time you can go is the best time. Can't kill un sitting in the house.
