[QUOTE="seighen, post: 532754, member: 34313"] OK, so I need some insite. I have pulled my first Elk tag (rifle Nov 4-18) and unfortunately it is in an area I was told to put in for, but I have zero experience in (kinda dumb, I know). I have been doing some reading and heard a lot of archery hunters talking about the phase of the moon during the season and how during a full moon the elk will graze at night and be less active during the day. During my season, the moon will be going from half full to full and then back to half again, so there is going to be light in the sky during the entire season. Unlike archery, there is no rut happening during the rifle season, so there is really nothing to keep them active during the day. How important is this and what should I be expecting to see, or not see...? If I am not camping on the mountain top, what times should I plan to be on the hill? Hopefully I am not chasing a minute detail, but it has me concerned as I am truely a novice here. Jamie [/QUOTE]
