DO NOT USE THAT CRAP IF YOU HAVE BEARS IN THE AREA -- I had a tract of prop I was getting 2/3 hundred pics of deer a week put out some of the sugar beet smash lure went to 0 deer and have not seen anything but bears on my cameras since then

Nothing wrong with hunting the majors. I will sit in the stand longer in the AM or get to it earlier in the PM if it is near the major. The last three hunts I was on deer were up and moving on the majors. Took my buck at Citrus last year right at the peak of the major in the morning.

This is definitely one of those "when I can" scenarios and I figured I would sit mid day because of the major hitting between 12 and 3. Just thought I would switch it up a little, the last couple of times I hunted the day of a full moon during gun, I would always hear shots between 10 and 2

Moon will be under foot at 1:33 ,and if you have time I say go for it.
If the moon was going to be full and over head during daylight I would take off work and hunt all day. Over head and under foot is the only thing I pay attention to other than ''when I have time''. And if its over head within an hour of sun rise/set I swear by it. Theres no doubt I have seen and killed more deer when hunting the peak moon positions but not so much the phases.
