Full moon effect on the deer?

[MattS]

How does a full moon effect the local deer? Do they bed erlier or later or the same?

From my experience, I have found that most game animals bed early during a full moon. I have a friend who was one of the most successful pig guides in California and he was convinced that the full moon effected the eating patterns of the animals.

With that said, I have seen a lot of animals take dirt naps during all phases of the moon.
