I use to watch the Moon phases a lot while going out to Hunt,for me it seemed that the Deer moved more when the moon was up high and visible in the morning sky or if it came up early in the late evening, even used that Moon Dial they sell and watched how the Deer movement was in correlation to it....it didn't seem to be on the money very often?

As most mentioned.....just get out and Hunt when ever possible and enjoy the moment!

I have found that Deer will move more when a Storm is about to come in and after said storm so barometric pressure may have more effect on Deer movement than anything else!

Default I avoided the moon, mostly

It was hard enough fitting my hunting and fishing time in with other family members.
If it was a full moon at night, getting a late morning start was easy to take.
Always had a problem scheduling. It was difficult after one late start and a return to home by noon with a harvested deer, why I had to leave before dawn. That was a long lasting schedule problem.

Pros must have time to go by the moon.

I still don't fully understand why so many authors swear by the moon?
