Basic Moon Phase Tips for Deer Hunting

[@mr.mr.3301]

First time hunter here in my 40s. I found your channel and it's been a lot of help.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

That is great to hear... really appreciate your feedback and I hope that you can fully enjoy the hunting life!

[@conflict7269]

Have you made this book ? Can i buy it

[@carlosweaver6763]

I surmised that the full moon may make them bed early and eat late morning. So I watched this video and thank you for validating my theory. Young to deer hunting, always been turkey slaughterer

[@pentecostalangel1]

Thanks for the info. Keep the vids coming.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You are very welcome and I will do my best! I think 7 more coming out over the next 10-12 days. Hope you like them!

Hello brother. I didn’t get to go today had errands to run. LORD WILLING AMEN I’m goin to go for a little while in the morn. Got to go to a baptizing tomorrow at 12:30. My nieces husband is gettin baptized Amen. THANK THE LORD AMEN.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Nice Randle, sounds like a real nice day you have planned for tomorrow! I'm hunting in the am...taking my wife out in the PM. Her 3rd night in a row...we've had bucks and does real close, but she is being picked, lol. Looking for a "bigger" buck. Have a great day tomorrow!

[@randlerichardson5826]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions youns to brother. I pray you both score tomorrow Amen. I want to see pics now. Good night brother GOD BLESS you and your family Amen.

[@brianleeker2899]

Appreciate the simplification! The cold front strategy hasn't worked for me this year. The moon was full on one of those fronts and I assumed it had something to do with it. Made the mistake of being in that area for 3 hunts in 4 days. Limited hunting opportunities will do that I guess. I'll take this info and see how it pans out. You're the man Jeff!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you Brian, good luck!! We had some outstanding hunts the last two nights...I'm actually taking a morning sit in a remote transition area in the morning, can't wait! Good luck Brian!

Moonrise, moonset, and on the meridian tie in with when cattle feed and rest

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Interesting that deer and cattle don't feed/bed at the same time. Maybe cows follow the moon, deer don't?

[@lightsout7034]

I'll agree if the cows are in there beds in are area the deer are bedded

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

@@lightsout7034 dang I should have added that one to my deer hunting greatest myths video! Huge myth...

[@lightsout7034]

@@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751 deer behavior is different in flat land compared to the Mt Eastern KY I've be hunting for the past 30 years and if it's real windy the deer don't move far same with the cow herds we don't get straight line wind here

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

@@lightsout7034 I love high winds because I find deer around here with the hills move to the lee sides of the ridges...we shoot a lot that way, as they move off the tops. However most of my clients are in flat land. What I've found scouting whitetails in 25 states for clients is that the same concepts for whitetails apply everywhere. However the balance if the concepts...how far deer moved in a given day, the distance between buck and doe bedding and food, how negative deer relate to hunters, how thick of cover deer bed in and what type of bedding habitat they prefer...it's all the same, just a huge amount of balance of distance and size needs to be applied. For example deer follow the same concepts in northern wilderness areas...just a much larger scale compared to northern flat land Ohio. I've studied whitetails in 25 states and counting...roughly 800 clients on 8 to 4500 acres. Amazing how much whitetails are the same everywhere...once you begin to understand the scale of balance that needs to be applied everywhere.

[@thepubliclandnomad3365]

Stoked for the book Jeff. Really have learned a lot from your tips. Thanks for keeping it real.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man I really appreciate that! You have no idea how much I love trying to just deliver what I have learned, work by and live by along the way, when it comes to whitetails. I hope it helps!

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

Thanks for the great tips. I am learning a lot.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Thank you Jonathan! I may get some flack over this one from some moon maniacs...but I truly hope it helps folks. I appreciate it!

[@douglasarrington8461]

Full moon has nothing to do with the rut. When you have a full moon deer feed more in the night. Weather thumps moon

[@ATRMAN-no8zc]

Is that an arrow hole on the hollow spot on the split g2 buck at 4:07 to 4:13? I've hit one there and got pics of the deer after and it looks awfully similar.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

I think it is, good catch! I don't kno for sure but he showed up with it and it made me wonder if he moved in because was severely spooked

[@ATRMAN-no8zc]

Whitetail Habitat Solutions has he been around this year? Dandy of buck

[@tysonchristensen885]

I've been after this big nocturnal buck since August 31st this year I'm only caught him in the day one time and that was after 2 inch snow storm and then he went nocturnal again and then today the temperature dropped almost 20 degrees and the winds were unbelievable I thought that would bring him out today but he did not show. I guess my question is how do hard winds affect the deer?

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Winds effect deer greatly! Also conaider that he probably isn't nocturnal...he is just coming from at least a 1/2 mile away or more. His core area is a ways away, that is. I hope that helps!

[@johnwilkening5262]

I think u would have saw him if it wouldn't have been for the wind! u said when u saw him during the day after a snow! my best advice is get out there before the next weather front rain or snow, or after the next front, 1 of the biggest bucks I ever got it started snowing at 2 pm and lasted for maybe 30 minutes right after the snow I did a doe beet filled by some buck grunts and a big 8 pt jumped the fence besides he had been shot by a slug already! right after a snow I think big deer always move just pick the right spot and don't be on the edge be back in the cover off the edge cuz those mature bucks won't get to the field until dark at least where I hunt good luck to u hope u get him

[@tysonchristensen885]

@@johnwilkening5262 thanks for the advice I got out there the next night and about 25 does came in but none of the bucks... it's only a matter of time until I get a chance I just hope I don't fumble! But with the right rapidly approaching it won't be long... But thanks for taking the time to reply I appreciate all the help I can get thanks guys

[@ATRMAN-no8zc]

Also as far as video goes I agree weather patterns over moon phase. Saw a mature shooter hit list buck last night walk right by one of my stands last night .. same wind tonight just a couple degrees warmer 45 to 49 .. what do you think are the odds of I sit there tonight he does the same thing? Trying to decide whether or not to move in or stay patient? Any advice be helpful thanks for all you do.

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Man I would really try a sit if you think it's safe and you aren't going to spook him! We a saw a buck my wife really want to shoot last night...same thing. We are going about 150 yards to the side, within his same pattern. Hoping he does the same thing! I'd try it tho...good luck! BTW...incredible deer hunt tonight!

[@ATRMAN-no8zc]

Thanks for reply .. I'm gonna try it. Winds right. Good luck to your wife and you hope it works out!

Full moon always rises in the evening. New moon rises with the sun. Full moon is at apogee at aproxamatly midnight every 28 days.

Great points!

If your busy with work ,kids etc.and have limited times to hunt...Do yourself a favor and ignore the moon completely when making your plans...It's hocus pocus .

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

You must have watched the video ☺️ Good synopsis! In fact I would go one step further and even if you aren't busy...ignore it, other than to know if you need a flashlight to get to your stand or not
