New moon,full moon

I know this is a subjective question. All things being equal..if you had a week to bow hunt .obviously it would be the rut..if you had a choice would you hunt the week of a new moon or full,harvest moon??

well this year full moon is two days before opening day and then again on Halloween. I would watch for a weather temp drop instead. Over the years the third week of Oct been good to me.

That's what deer assassin JCB said..he should know..so I'm scheduling a week off the 19-23..plus two weekends...

That last couple weeks of October can be fantastic, I know a lot of areas the rut is starting to kick off then and I have seen bucks tending does in those last 2 weeks of October. I really like hunting the Quarter moon periods, seems more movement early and late in the when most of us want to be out there especially if it is hot.

That's when I'll be in trees and ground blinds too. Good luck. Should be better this year for the corn feeder hunters as I'm not seeing bumper crop of acorns but I'm prepared with sets either way.

get a lunar hunting/fishing movement app for your phone they work

a few days before or few days after the first full moon of October is when I get it done.

These days, I pattern what the cell cams are telling me the trends are vs. anything else.

Ive had the most action before and after storms and during a cold spike as said above. If its raining all day. ill sit all day.

my gps had the luner table on it...
Always carried pen & small pocket note book with.
Wrote down all info... Majority of my sightings didnt jive with luner table..

For me it was being in right place right time... & a whole lot of luck...

Just my

I'm hunting Saturday through Tuesday. My trail cam is showing the biggest deer are showing up the for 3 days after the full moon.

Yep I try to hunt 5-3 days before and then 3-5 days after the full moon and anytime see a real drop 15+ degrees in temp. when I have to plan hunt dates

I killed my biggest buck on a full moon a number of years ago. Then, for the next few years I always saw lots of movement on the full moon and little to nothing on a new moon. I had it figured out, right? I was convinced. I went so far as to specifically schedule my time off during the November full moon. The last few years, my full moon hunting has been blech. Then, on the new moon last year, both my sister and I connected with our Bucks within minutes of each other. Now, I just hunt when I have time to hunt, and don't really look at the moon phases anymore. I like early November in North OK, and all December long in TX (Navarro County)

I agree it seem to change. You think it one thing the the next year it’s different

Hunt the full moon as you normally would and then hunt during lunch time. Lots of time will move from 1100 to 1300, getting a bite to eat after their morning nap.
