moon phases

[Stanley]

Interesting Dan. I'm going to check my trail cam pictures with the moon phases and see what happens. I have nothing to lose. I do agree weather trumps moon phase. I'm trying to figure this out though. If my trail cameras are picking up deer pictures during a certain moon phase then the next guys cameras won't be taking pictures of those deer on the same moon phase so what does that tell the next guy?

[dan]

I don't get what your saying Stan? The next guy is probably getting pic's of different deer?

yes i would think so dan.... just becase stan your getting pics of one or two bucks dosent mean the another guy aint... you have to remeber theres other deer in the woods and you may not even be getting all the deer on cam so we cant rule out that the moon dosent affect deer movement.....


im not attacking you stan just my opoin

If he's going by the moon phase, like most people, he'll think it's just a crock of bull. But apparently he's in the wrong spot....... at that particular time. Just because the moon phase is right, doesn't mean you're going to get pics of all the bucks. You still have to be where you need to be.

At least I think that's what you asked.

What I'm trying to say is the deer are somewhere at all times. Because I have them on camera, on a certain moon phase means they are not somewhere else. If I have 5 cameras out they will be on one not all five. That is what I'm eluding to. If I have a pile of corn out in front of a camera the corn would supersede the moon phase. The corn is real, the moon phase effect is non tangible. Thus we could say the corn caused the deer to be in front of the camera not the moon phase.

why not all five..... how far are they spread out ...stan i the moon is real too it has an effects on ALL living things....... even the oceans tides(not living)so to say its not real is out of the ball park ...like dan ive seen way to much activity during hot moon phases to dissmiss that possilblity......agin i not attacking stan just trying to shed light on the subject for you...and yes i can also see how corn a strong food sorce wil also show deer out early but here in wisconsin thats not possible until the opener

I have a fair buck on camera on the 8th of Sept at 6:56 AM headed for bed. Just curious what the moon phase says for that day? I don't have a chart to look it up.

Hey it's just constructive conversation. Some people swear Bigfoot exists and will argue about that. I have personal friends that believe it.

I have a feeling you will have a harder time yet proving that to me.

i have my opions too about it but hey lets get back to deer hunting

I have a fair buck on camera on the 8th of Sept at 6:56 AM headed for bed. Just curious what the moon phase says for that day? I don't have a chart to look it up.

September 8th was not a "good" moon day... The moon was under foot at 10:18 AM

Deer, especially mature bucks are generally bedded in day light... The day you have the buck eating the corn in front of your camera in daylight is likely the day you have good moon position. The day he comes in at night is probably bad moon... Some of the cameras I tested this on had corn in front of them too, and some were on food plots...

Numbers of photo's changed, but not a lot. The real change was what days, and especially mornings we had day time pics. You can't shoot them at night, so if a certain moon position brings them out further earlier, or gets them to bed later, it is certainly worth noting.

We can not predict what they will always do... I go by what they do most the time.
I will say though that 2 days earlier his time would of been right on, and the day before would not of been off by much.
