Full moon

Postby whitedog » Fri Jul 09, 2010 12:03 pm

What days would you guys rather hunt. the week leading up to the full moon or the week after? Trying to decide on which week I'm going to go to Illinois this year.

if you're hunting in a stand all day then don't worry about it, but if you plan to hunt morning and take a break b/t the afternoon hunt then I would say the week leading up to a full moon. The big boys move b/t 10-2, that's when I've killed my bigger deer.

i'd hunt all day if i were you. if it's rut or real close to rut then i'd say it doesn't matter that much, if i were going early season or post rut then i like before. and i'd hunt daylight till noon or so. come out for an hour then back after them. my 2 cent's. fyi it's worth the price you paid for it :D

and THAT is a duck hunt.

Moon affects deer to an extent. I have and always will say you kill your biggest bucks when the moon is overhead. I have had several big ones slip up during this time. Including my 190" on our ranch in South Texas. But Mississippi has been known for middle of the day. Deer pattern our routine and know when we are or aren't there. So throw them a curveball and hunt out your typical pattern
