moon guide input

[jelmore]

I got a j murray moonguide this fall. Several times i did see deer moving when it said B or hunt travel corridors.I noticed 3 or 4 times when it said C or that the deer would be in their bedding cover earlier and stay later i actually saw deer in the exact same 3 spots out feeding in fields,close to the road earlier in the evening and later in the morning at the same times. just seeing if any of you have any input on the moon and why these deer seemed to be doing the opposite of what i would expect from what the guide said.

The guide is not telling you exact times every deer will move... Its telling you tendancys and when deer are "likely" to move... Some things like weather fronts, timing such as rut, early fall, and other things can have a much greater effect on deer than the moon phase. My observations lend some credibility to moon movements per jeffs guide, But I don't agree with all of his logic on "where" to hunt.

I'm doing a survey in the trail camera forum. I will have some results to post up when finished. I'm also going to do a survey on the bucks killed. It is taking some time to put together but should be interesting when complete.

it was just weird how these deer were predictable on these "c" days. the exact opposite of what the guide recommended . i could of have been looking at the wrong days but i don't think so, any day i saw deer i double checked what the guide said.

I think like Dan said the chart & deer movement is not etched in stone.

I bought one along with the DVD...
I just threw mine away and won't be buying another next year (maybe it's not a New England thing )
I also gave the DVD to a friend to bore him to death with

Saw more deer in previous years without the fancy chart, but gave ot a try and didn't work out for me.

Sounds like you saw some decent tendancies - to each to own I suppose...
