moon phases are primarily just a guide to most activity ......there are a lot of other external factors that play into hunting for sure as you see by everyone else's experiences on the same day...if I have it right . it seems on full moon cycles the deer are more active at mid day....and on a new moon...during first and last light...,
so many other things can play into what you see...that it is only another tool that may help you from time to time...JMHO
some people swear by them...heck I just go hunt ..never pay much attention to anything other than the wind...and rain (rain for blood trailing)
I have been successful on hot days.cold days, windy days calm days , and at different phases of the moon..also been unsuccessful on the same LOL
