| sometimes carry my GPS with, it has info for Best time for hunting an fishing, an good time for hunting an fishing, may be wrong, but think they are talking about moon phases... just cause it says tis best time or good time, doesn't meen tis... have sat an watched deer moving around many times, whin acording to GPS they not supose ta be moving... that's were i use the hi-tec method, of sit in my stand, bring some binoculars, kick back, an if see something moving, write time of day down... few years back twas doing this, twas a buck moving just out of bow range pretty much same time, but not every day, went picked out a tree... the next year put stand in tree that had picked out, an about half hour a buck twas right under the stand... they just changed it to 13-inch spread, this one twas about 11-inch, just guessing, got a picture instead... the buck from year before twas over the 13-inch, could see that from a distance... just got lucky ta get that close to he 11-inch deer.. twas same time frame twas seeing the other deer... |
| In my experience moon phases will have different effects on different regions. Main think I pay attention to is full moon, if it is a full moon I pretty much will not hunt the evening, unless its full rut. Early morning is the best time to catch deer coming from feed and back to cover during a full moon, they usually move after shooting hours in the evening. Sometimes 12:00 noon can be a good time to catch them getting restless also. |
first off want to appolagize, tis not an expert on moon phases, but did find some thing that may help ya out... no disrespect to any of the others.... sportsmansguide has a DVD that uses the latest research, an scientific information on the subject of moon phases... tis not a bad price $10.97.... as mentioned earlier, my GPS has the same thing, it came with it.... the DVD can be found at www.sportmansguide.com an item tis KID-96515 it says use Big Game for key search.... may be over stepping again, but don't think it comes with a garrente...
