rising, and falling moons

I have heard from a couple of people that when there is a rising moon between 1 and 5 p.m. in early october will get the deer up and moving a lot earlier and possibly get the bucks up moving in the day....and also when there is a falling moon to hunt your best stands in the morning and the deer move best through the first 2 to 3 hours of daylight....any opinion on this???

Re: rising, and falling moons

First off......."I WISH THIS GUY WAS ME".....seriously!!!

I cheated.....I got a moon guide!!!

I stayed up all night before and wrote down when the moon was directly over head. (I did this to see how close the Moon Guide was)

The next day I was in the woods-(the swamps of florida) grin.gif ...and I got there exactly 10 hours later then the moon being directly overhead to hunt.

Saw deer moving and feeding the entire time and oh yeah...the temperature was in the low 90 degrees at the time.(so that blows the high temps they dont move theory out of the water too) wink.gif

Get one of these.......it does the math for you ahead of time cool.gif

Mine was off the first time i used it....turns out I forgot to change the time into the time zone I was in...if I had done so it would have only been off by 15 minutes to when the deer started moving and when they ended movement!

Spin the weatherproof, 7-inch Moon Dial to any date from August 1 through January 31 to know when and where to hunt deer and big game. Field studies and radio telemetry suggest that the best time to be afield is when the moon is most directly overhead (now printed red) or underfoot (printed black).

A handy illustration on the flip side of the Guide also shows how to rotate hunting locations in relation to moon position: Daily predictions are also given for where to hunt -- feeding areas, bedding areas, travel corridors -- for each day.

P.S. You would be suprised how good the fishing is around these times too wink.gif
