656 - Have GPS Studies SETTLED THE MOON DEBATE? With Dr. Bronson Strickland

For this episode we traveled to Starkville Mississippi to sit down with Dr. Bronson Strickland of Mississippi State Universities Deer Lab about their recent deep dive into GPS data! MSU took a hard look at the data around buck movement and how it is influenced by BOTH moon phase and moon position. This is a fascinating episode that you will not want to miss! We discuss: Moon phase vs moon position and the theories about how each effect buck movement Narrowing down GPS data to look at buck movement, SPECIFICALLY at major and minor movement times according to moon calendars The VERY surprising percentage of bucks that are bedded down at any given time of day Is the red moon theory fact or fiction? What most hunters think when it comes to the moon Does moon phase or moon position make one day better than another for deer hunting? (and if so, how?) The data around overhead/underfoot moon times and how bucks react to it and TONS more!
