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 ?

I have heard about the rising moon and had luck on them.

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.
