I dont ever concern myself with the moon. :dunno:

Duck you should just go out hunting somewhere else, look at it as though it's a scouting trip or just some time out there hunting.
You never know what you'll see. :dunno:

:yeah: Take a camera with you and get some pics for us. I think too much emphasis is put on the moon phase myself, I have several bucks/bulls that were taken under a full moon. This is the only moon cycle you should be concerned with IMHO (https://hunting-washington.com/cpg/albums/userpics/10123/BA.gif)

Post by: SpokaneSlayer on September 01, 2009, 01:37:11 PM: I saw 11 deer in the first hour of the season, 5 were bucks. Put a stalk on but got ruined by another hunter coming over the ridge and spooking them. :bash:

Kidding? No... why do you say that? I hunt when I have time off work. I can't schedule my hunting around the different phases of the moon.
