Title: Full Moon??
Post by: Frogman on 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??

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.    :biggrin:

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.  :wink:

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
