Hunting on a full moon

Postby H2Ofowlhunter » 10 02, 2013 •  [Post 1]

Just curious what everyone's thoughts and opinions are when hunting on a full moon. I tend to find that late morning and late afternoon is when they are most active, depending on the weather of course. What are the best tactics?

I am sorry you have been ignored on your thread. Your question gets asked several times every year. The bottom line is just ignore the moon phase and go hunting.
