Moon

[nodeerhere]

This topic has prob been talked about many times. I'm new here. What are your guys take on the moon. I've tried it all. What works for u guys during a full moon? I find they don't move good anytime of the day. I know it's suppose to be mid day and trust me I've tried and tried and tried it all. Seems it's more a night time thing and we aren't allowed to play that game! Thankfully! Any help would be great!

I know it reeks havoc on turkeys in spring. Full moon hunts are avoided by me on birds. Sorry I'm no help on moon and deer but interested in what others think as I'm always looking to learn more

Really it affects the turkey too?

Birds will roost til 10 and never gobble on roost. Tight lipped all day. Also goes for few days and after they're wonky If it's a full moon I'm hoping for clouds

Wow. Didn't know that! Good to know. I have found the deer do not move good in the morning or evening during the moon. I'd have thought and have been told mid day during full moon. I don't see that either. And I have done many all day sits to figure it out. I can't!

The theory I hear is they can see better so they are active and feeding all night, hence move less during the day. It usually happens around the "October lull" which maybe isn't a coincidence

Is this the prob now? Near a full moon. Bright out. And not so much movement. I sat 6 hrs today. Froze and I didn't hear any shooting and didn't see a deer. I was really wondering if I had the date wrong! Is this opening wk end?

lots of guys shooting deer last two days. I've heard probably close to 175-200 shots ringing thru the hills. Seen a few but haven't shot. So apparently it's not effecting others

Quiet too?

Nothing? No nobody has any input?
