We've often heared that deer, during a full moon often feed during the middle of the day. Have you guys that have been in the camera business for some time now found that you get a greater number of mid day photos that would support this notion. I tend to believe it but was curious to hear from the pros. Thanks
Not in front of my cams anyway.
For sure!
I put a camera up last Saturday on a Nutall oak and pulled it on Tuesday around 3:30pm. There were deer feeding on the acorns morning, noon, evening and at night everyday it was up. It's a shame I didn't check it before I had to go offshore for work :(
My cams have shut down on scrapes since 10/22 in regards to mature (4.5 and better) bucks. With that said, I sat from dark to dark yesterday in a bedding area and had deer moving all day. 30 or so deer and 9 different bucks. The bucks were of the 1.5-3.5 variety.
Yep I have got bucks and does feeding on camera late morning early afternoon during a full moon phase. Last week I was hunting during the full moon and the most deer action I had was at 1:30 pm.

Not seeing that on my cams.
Lots of moon research. The most robust totally debunk moon impacts. Some stuff occurred with a researcher in CT some years ago in an effort to sell a nifty, circular moon ruler. I think $ was wagging that dog's tail.
Can't beat thousands of real-time GPS telemetry readings from hundreds of deer over a long period of time.
