Moon phase

Unread postby Z7WIBoy » Fri May 18, 2012 9:59 am

I am sure this has been discussed before but can someone explain the moon phase tactic where he may come back early and leave bed early? Maybe give an example too. Want to make sure I get this as spy pointed out it is only 5 months away till season!!
Thanks and help is appreciated

Dan, where did you locate the "overhead" and "underfoot" dates that you posted in the link you attached? thanks!

I don't know where Dan got his times and dates from, but here is a link that works good for me for finding the moon transit ( moon overhead ), for your area..... When that moon transit time is within an hour or less of the SUN setting or rising, it is suppose to have the greatest affect on deer feeding or moving early in the evening or getting back to their beds later in the morning.... I hope I got that right anyway, pretty sure I did....

Thanks guys, it is always interesting to test out different techniques and methodologies. I have never had luck with full moon time periods, but new moons have been very good to me :dance:
