THE DREADED FULL MOON
What does this mean to us hunters? Do you like hunting when there is a full moon? It has been a topic among hunters for generations. Some experts believe the moon can trigger the rut. Some professional hunters claim that the dark moon is the best time to hunt. The moon has been to blame on countless opportunities gone astray.
I personally have had some good hunts when the moon was full. It is too easy to blame the moon when you have a bad hunt. I am sure there is some good scientific data to prove some of the moon issues to be true but I decided long ago if I have time to hunt I just hunt. We definitely can not control things such as the moon phases, weather, or temperatures. I personally think that temperature is more of a factor than any other scenario.
So I say this fellow hunters. If you have any opportunity to hunt then go hunt. What I always have believed to be 100% true is this. You can not shoot a deer laid up on the couch.....
As a non-hunter I am not familiar with this. Is a full moon kind of like a superstision to some hunters?
ReplyDeleteHey Peyton! It is somewhat superstitious. But there is actually some scientific proof of it affecting animals movement patterns. They typically move at night more which doesn't help for day hunting. Thank you for following me!:)
