Good Afternoon everyone,
I have been reading through all of the tremendous advice in these forums, and have answered many of my newbie questions. However there is one topic that I would love to have a discussion about, regarding hunting tactics during the full moon. Most sources (and my grandpa's whitetail advice) state that game animals are very inactive during the day, and to avoid hunting during a full moon as much as possible. In your experiences, has the moon phase had a dramatic impact on the quality of your elk hunts? Most of my experience is from deer and small game, and while the moon plays a part, weather and temperature has more of an effect than the moon. Does this hold true for elk?
Thanks,
Vinny
