Personally, moon phases have no effect on whether I go hunting or not. Nor do moon phases effect my planned vacation days weeks or months in advance. But I frequently "spur of the moment" decide to either go or not go hunting for lots of other factors, usually weather related, like I might decide it's a better fishing than hunting day. ;\)

Peak of the rut with a cold snap, I don't care what the moon phase is, bucks will be moving during daylight.

I believe more than any other single factor:
TEMPERATURE is what effects daytime deer movement.

Unfortunately, we cannot plan our vacation days weeks or months in advance to coincide with only the days with temperatures most conducive to deer movement.

And TEMPERATURE is not just this big factor DURING the rut peak.
On those rare days when an early cold front comes in late October, those "pre-rut" days can produce some great daylight buck movement, very comparable to peak rut.

But give me a warmer than normal late October day, and I'd usually rather be fishing.
