Conclusion
There are many pieces of this moon
puzzle and when put together correctly
they create a clear picture. They allow
us to key in on prime predator move-
ment and help decide when we should
be afield. These methods could very
well be that something that has been
missing from your predator arsenal. Plan
ahead and prepare and you will be
more successful in your predator hunt-
ing adventures. Good luck, watch the
moon and happy hunting.

Knowing how to read the moon will allow you to pattern predator movement. Moon charts
like this one are a key ingredient in putting more fur on the ground.
Evening Hunts
Check your regulations to make sure night hunting is legal in your state.

MORE INFORMATION
The charts and guides that I have talked about are available online for free from the
United States Naval Observatory at http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_One Year.php
For information on illumination, moon rise and set times, sunrise and sunset. The charts
provide you with a year of information, making it easy to map out a schedule. You can
search by state and county, making sure your hunts are as precise as you need them to be.
There is no charge to download these maps to your computer or smart phone.
