    Morning of a full moon directly above or beneath is my favorite.

    Killed 2 of my biggest bucks on full moons, hunting my normal afternoon times. One 9 and one 10 pt. I just hunt when I can.

    Full moon or a couple days before has always been good for me.

    I’ve always had better luck on a dark moon.

    Nah. Used to hate it. Dont really pay any attention to it anymore. Like someone else said. I hunt when I can.

    According to my cameras and hunting logs for many years- most sightings during the full moon are morning or mid day with evening sightings dropping off 80%- Lowcountry.

    I hunt when I can to. But if it is up on a full moon that's even better

    that is why I asked
    Got to my place at 5:30am and have to walk along the edge of a huge cut cornfield to get back in the corner I wanted to hunt.
    Dang field was lit up like daylight from the moon and didn't see a dang thing and this place holds some deer.
    I was wondering if they don't feed as good on the full moon at night or if they liked it and fed all night.

    Sit as late as you can in the evenings. Cut corn field (a light backdrop) and a full moon is a deadly combination.

    That’s the absolute best time to go. And the only time you can too

    Back out there after the game tomorrow afternoon, if not, definitely Sunday evening.
    I re-did the cameras and hand picked a small pile of that corn you left standing for me.
    Note: doves wake up at 8:30am
    At 8am not a dove on the powerline, at 8:15 not a dove on the powerline, at 8:30 I stopped counting at 100 doves on one small section

    If the temperature and pressure are right I don’t give a damn where the moon is.
