fed all night and bed down at daylight. They stay bedded down up until about early afternoon. At that time they get up feed a bit and go to water and bed down again until after dark when they get out and feed again in the full moon's light. On a full moon I don't even hunt early in the morning. I find where the deer or elk water and sit down in some heavy brush overlooking the water hole. Invariably the animals come to water between noon and 2 and bed down again. This method has worked for me for at least 35 years or more and I don't remember a year when I didn't get at least one deer using this method.
