Full Moon??

Frogman · January 31, 2010, 09:04:47 PM

Friday night was supposedly the biggest full moon of the year. What do you guys think about it's affect on coyote hunting. I was out that night for about 4 hours. We heard coyotes across the river, but no response near us?? Is the full moon a good time to hunt?? Why or why not??

Here's some more info why

although I consider myself still a learner and beginner at coyote hunting. I always felt hunting and fishing was always better during a new moon period. However, If your out there, they are too, no matter what the game.

If you are hunting at night, a full moon is good. If hunting in the daylight hours, I like a new moon best.

When you get this all figured out let me know.

No need to be confused Jim. If you have the time to go hunting - go! The heck with the moon phase.

That's exactly what I do. I was just wondering. Some hunters I know feel the moon phases have a lot to do with coyote activity. I was just wondering what all you guys thougt!

I feel certain moon phases and weather events does effect animal movement but so does hunger and coyotes are nearly always hungry. Based on the hunger factor I hunt when ever I can.

Nothing scientific here, just my thoughts.

I think weather affects them far more than moon phase. Its the only thing I know that can cause drastic changes in their habits. JImmie
