Yep Rhinos have a icon Hunt-fish times. We play with it every year. Not sure it is that accurate once pressure from other hunters start.

In our camp we seem to kill more animal in the 9:30 am - 10:30 am frame.

As you can tell now my no sleep nights have started. I still have three days before we leave. We are all ready. So much food coming this year that we will all be coming home 20 lbs heavier :chuckle:

Good luck to all. Be safe out there.

http://besttimestohunt.net/default.aspx (http://besttimestohunt.net/default.aspx)

Change the zip code though.

I do find it to be accurate. I do see more movement during the major and minor times as well on the better hunting days. The info they provide goes right in line with Boyd Iverson's Blactail Tactics information as far as moon phases effect on hunting.
