Just curious if you guys think the moon phase has strong influences (positive or negative) on black bear behavior during the early fall 'hyperphagia' feeding frenzy phase, specifically in the Rockies?
I've never worried much about moon phase with bears. Food sources are the key, along with the temperature/time of day for me here at home. I do like to shoot my bear by early October, as the shorter daylight hours later in the year start allowing the bears to use the longer nights to their advantage.
