I think moon phases influence game to some extent but I would hunt whenever I could anyway. With a full moon and increase in nocturnal activity, I sometimes think this increases mid-day activity as opposed to dawn/dusk patterns. All is affected by weather, hunting pressures, rut, etc, so it is just one part of what is a big puzzle (to me anyway).

I have observed the effects of the moon on humans for many years and have come to the conclusion that there is a dramatic increase in "lunacy" during a period beginning about 14 days before and lasting until 14 days after full moon. It primarily affects politicians and people living in large cities.
