[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2787994, member: 91783"] I have always been one that studies things most people don't find interesting. I was reading about sea urchins one time, because the study was related to the moon phases. They took some urchins in an aquarium while studying them they noticed that they started feeding not by the moon phases but by the moon rise and set, they then transported them from the east coast to Kansas, within a few days they had adjusted their feeding to the moon rise and set in Kansas. So then I decided that I would watch the wildlife around here to see how they correlated their feeding to the moon rise and set. Before long I noticed that they were actually behaving much the same as the urchins had becoming more active a couple of hours before and after moon rise then again, a couple of hours before and after moon set. The predators were doing the same as the deer and antelope following their feeding patterns. So, then I got a fisherman's calendar and checked it to make comparisons to the predator's patterns, there were some comparisons in activity between them. The biggest was however that they were most active with the moon rising and setting. Coming on a full moon and going from a full moon as I have said before made a difference in my catches with traps and snares. With my trap sets you will only be able to see my scent holder at the set and I do that, so they have a visual attractor as well as scent, the rest is well blended. Still during brighter moon conditions, they stay at more of a distance and look the set over, if I have used very much scent on my holder, once again with the predators less is better in a lot of cases.
