How does the moon's lunar cycle affect best times for hunting?

Answer 1

Studies done on some animals indicate that their reproductive cycle is influenced by the phases of the moon. They are therefore more active in and around the full moon. Most animals hide by day and become active at night so one would think the better light of the full moon would slow activity but this is proven erroneous. Animals become more active at night with a full moon .

Answer 2

The moon's lunar cycle can affect hunting by influencing animal behavior, particularly during the full moon when animals may be more active at night. Some hunters prefer hunting during the new moon phase when it's darker and animals may be more active during the day. However, individual animal species may react differently to the lunar cycle, so it's important to consider the specific behavior of the target species when planning a hunting trip.
