I noticed it as well....around 2:00.....quite a few deer feeding out in the fields when I was heading home from scouting.

New moon has always been good to me. I believe the moon influences all animal movement. However in my experience weather and hunting pressure come first.

The moon is just one piece of the puzzle. It's another element to consider and look at.weather, timing, pressure, location all play into it. I have shot all my good bucks on public around major periods. These occurred in the middle of the day during the week when pressure was low. It was also prerut. For the last three years I have recorded this info. All the bucks shot and seen were on or around this period.

Interesting to watch Major League Fishing and see that they often all start catching fish around the same times...assuming they aren’t heavily editing footage.
