Wondered what was the board members favorite phase of the moom to hunt? I know any day you can hunt is a good day, but does anyone plan their vacation to take advantage of a particular moon phase. I have the last couple of years...my fave is the 'new moon' followed by a "full moon". How about ya'll ?

When rut come same time as full moon, full rut only week away and moon in third quarter. First third-quarter moon after Hunter’s Moon is best.

I usually prefer to hunt during the new moon but during the rut I've observed a lot of buck activity (including some real mossy horns)) on the day before the moon is full.I'll stay in the woods as many hours as possible on this day!;)

My Dad was an advocate of three days before the full moon as being best and three days after the full moon.When it was legal to shine deer at night without a gun,I found that deer didn't move on a full moon night.They moved best on a dark night!
