Post subject:  DEER HUNTING THE MOON ???

The moon orbits the earth every 29.5 days, lunar phases are made with changing angles of the earth, the moon, and the sun.

What do you think is the best lunar phase to deer hunt and why ...... :?:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Moon - occurs when the moon is situated between the earth and sun so that the moon's shadow faces earth.

Full Moon - occurs when the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment so that no moon shadow is visible.

First/Third Quarter moons - occur when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with the sun and earth.

Crescent Moon - when moon is less than half illuminated but either growing "waxing" or shrinking "waning" toward a full or new moon.

Gibbous Moon - when moon is more than half illuminated but either growing "waxing"" or shrinking "waning" toward a full or new moon

no moon visible....without the light of the moon to feed by, deer are more active during the day
