i bought the moon phase guide a couple years ago and tried figuring it out
one question, when ur hunting the bed in the morning, do u want to wait until the phase has them feeding later in the morning?
how about for in the evenig?

Re: moon phase guide does it work?
The mornings are the big advantage... When the moon over head / underfoot says the deer are feeding late morning, those are the days to hunt over a bed...
It still helps in the evening too, to know if deer in general are going to move earlier... When I hunt properties with higher populations on evenings with early moon based movement if I go out at the same times as I did the following week I often spook the woods by spooking small deer that are out early... Also, each bed and each situation is different, sometimes you can't quite get close enough. In those situations you can wait for the right moon and hunt a little farther back and get some last light opportunity rather than having the buck come through after dark and smelling you were there...
