[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2187578"] Sonrtimes I think it may be the most important tangible factor that we can measure. I decided to do some weapons maintenance this morning when my alarm went off at 4am instead of hunting, and the moon was the deciding factor. I figure that my hunting days are limited anyways, based on the number of locations that I have access to, so given that it is only reasonable to call the same spots periodically, it makes sense to hold off until the conditions are correct. I recently got an idea about going back through the photos of dead coyotes in my phone from years past and checking the dates with moon cycles. I found that I killed about 60% of my coyotes the week of the new moon, and the remaining 40% were evenly distributed over the remaining 3 weeks, more or less. It took a long time to compile that data, but it seems valuable. Now, I'll admit that it is skewed at least a bit because I've generally hunted more days when the moon is low. There are also tons of intangibles that I haven't worked into the equation, but at face value, it seems huge. [/QUOTE]
