Hunting the full moon is not great because they feed all night


This just isn't true though.
From what ive seen first hand id say it is true. I worked nights riding back roads for 8 years. I can say without a doubt that on full moons I saw way more deer out feeding. Now did barometric pressure, temperature, etc have anything to do with it? Possibly.

Ive heard the saying that the sunrise will catch deer far from their bedding area during a full moon and also read an article where one guy claims to have killed 3 mature bucks lathered up with sweat at first light because of this.

Full moon or no moon im on my stand prior to daylight and stay till about 11 unless other weather factors come into play or im seeing enough movement to justify staying.Evening hunts Ill get on the stand a little earlier for a full moon in the evening though.

Honestly the only thing I do differently during the full moon is sit on the stand from daylight to dark.
