Does anyone use the hunting time apps or solunar maps and rely on them? What's ya'lls opinions on them?

Nope, I'm hunting no matter what.

Pretty sure Redsnake has one and a lot of the guys on here like it. Haven't used it

I hunt regardless. But I wanted to test a good app and see how accurate it is. In my opinion I think weather and moon phase play apart in movement. But how much of a part does it play? For instance I've always heard if it's a full moon the deer will get up between like 11 to 2 or something like that. But what about the other moon phases?

Since the solunar tables were developed for fish based on sun, moon, and tides, can somebody tell me who did the research that shows/explains the same traits in mammals that causes them to be more active during solunar peaks?

As near as I can tell, solunar influences are negligible at best to overall environmental issues such as weather, activity in the area, etc., a caveat also noted for fishing.
