The moon was a source of 5 minutes involved in a constructive hobby tonight  :)

I tried late arch elk here, single digit temps on thanksgiving and by 11am i wussed out and headed for the truck.  But i think the moon phase thing is silly.  I see every kind of animal active during daylught hours during every moon phase.  I see a full moon in the winter as a blessing.  With a full moon and some snow on the ground, you can hike in in the dark with no artificial light source.  Being able to cover a couple miles before legal shooting light without a headlamp is awesome.  Get into your spot sneaky as can be.  I love full moons, especially when the ground is white.
