How does full moon affect your hunting?

[STEVE R.]

I have been seeing many deer about an hour before to at sunset, since last weekend. I have not gotten a shot yet.To me this is the best time to hunt.

I use this app called hunt cast on my phone. It is based on lunar phase. Bit expensive at $5.00. I have used lunar calculators in the past and this one works as good as the rest of them.

I dunno about the deer, but during a full moon I have a hard time getting out there. Just don't feel like hunting during a full moon.  :confused:

I dont give a rats ass what the moon looks like when i have time to hunt, i hunt. I do see more movement late in the morning during a full moon.

Depends on the hunting presure in the area. Deer and elk sure seem to go nocturnal especially if it is warm. If the pressure is high it can be tuff. Last elk I harvested was 2:30 pm in the afternoon on a full moon. I see alot of big muleys get up a feed midday leaving thier first bed and settling into the second bed of the day.  From what I seen it can be great hunting as long as the pressure is not bad.

I agree with Terry, you'd be surprised what's easing around out there in the middle of the day when most folks are at camp taking a nap. But as was stated a lot depends on the hunting pressure.
