Moon Overhead and Underfoot

Unread postby Hauntedwaters » Wed Jul 27, 2016 1:59 am

I'm sure this has been discussed at length somewhere on this forum, but I am having a hard time finding it. Could someone provide a few links to threads on this topic and maybe a few good websites to get the times for each date? If there's 2015 data on any of the websites, that would be helpful as well as I'd like to look back on when I saw deer last year and compare it to the overhead/underfoot info.

As always, thanks to all the veteran hunters out there helping us newbies learn more.

This is the most recent thread about it. It made me download a moon app and start paying attention when I'm driving.

1 Hour before Daylight - 2 hours after
2 hours before Dark - 1 Hour after

When the rut kicks up, the o/h - u/f times throughout the day will be your "Cruising Times". In 2014 the last time Dan posted moon days, I could have set my watch to the cruising times, it was amazing. maybe it was just a perfect season in my area, but I saw bucks within 5 minutes of when it said they would be moving mid day.
