I need some more basic info on this. I've read (might of been on here) that deer tend to feed when the moon right above and right below. Is this true? How do you determine at what times this occurs?

I've read enough to believe in this. But how do you know what days the moon will cause early deer movement?

Excuse my ignorance.

A full moon is always overhead at midnight, a new moon is always overhead at noon. Every day after a full or new moon it is about an hour later. For example, the 7th day after a full or new moon, 7am and 7pm are roughly the feeding times. If you look at a marketed moon chart the 7th day is typically the highet rated.

Thanks Dan. I ordered it. Figure I can use it as a learning tool this year and hopefully will be able to make my own determinations the following years.
