I have always heard when you can see the moon out early in evening the deer should be moving well. Last night I got out of church sevice at 6:30 p.m CST and as was leaving saw that moon was up pretty high, anyway saw 2 nice bucks feeding in riverbottom field on my way home. Have you noticed this? I know this is a simple question but how do find out what days moon will be up couple hours or more before dark? Is it the days leading up to a full moon ?

Two years ago my buddy told me ,"if you see the moon out in the evening, you will see deer." I must say it's astonishing how many times I have seen deer while moon is out.

Rubbish. Deer move and eat when it's comfortable for them. Moon gives light at night and that's about it.

I'm sure the moon has some effect on deer but I have certainly never been able to tell what it is.

I have noticed when it is a a big bright full mood I don't see as many deer as I do in the dark of the moon.

Exactly right BW, you or nobody else either. When and if someone truly figures it out, they will be an instant millionaire, as people would pay dearly to know without error!

What it is, is the gravitational pull of the moon. Sort of like
bringing in a tide on the ocean. When the deer are bedded, the
moon sort of pulls them up a little bit and gets them to want to
go get something to eat.

Wonder what causes mine to be grouchy new moon all the way thru full moon. Reckon it .......................................
may be a result of I hunt and fish all stages of the moon just to be sure I'm there at primetime.
