I was curious on some input regarding this years Elk rut (2013) and when might be the ideal time to bow hunt? I've been elk hunting for just a few years now but I'm trying to get a better understanding of how the moon phase and past history might favor one week over another week in September. I understand weather plays a big factor. But I was curious on any helpful tips or suggestions on the moon phase that we have for 2013 and how it may correlate to years past when the moon phase was very similar - what type of results did everyone experience
I'm hunting in Wyoming, public land, in a decent area. Based off last years (2012) moon phase and when I bow hunted we hit it just right (between the 2nd and 3rd week -Sept 12th-22nd). This year, base on what I think might be somewhat accurate from the moon phase chart, the 9th thru the 15th and/or the 25th thru the 30th. I was really hoping to get the Eastmans issue already of when Guy predicted the rut. More for reassurance then anything. I'm limited on time this year unlike last year. So, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
