I watch phase of moon, not to make a hunt/no-hunt choice, but sometimes it affects how I approach a particular day of hunting. I still hunt. Sometimes phase of moon and what I know about historic critter activity during that phase suggests certain routes / timing of passing particular features along that route will be more likely to be effective than others.
One thing I've observed ... I spent some years as a fishing guide ... the elk, cattle, and deer seem to be active in sync, when they're all active, the fish seem to be "on the bite", and when the critters lay down to doze, the fish seem to stop biting, too. Whats REALLY interesting though is watching the backpackers 'n' so on who are not punching a clock .. they seem to be active or inactive on the same patterns as the four legged critters and finned critters. My guess ... subconscious responses to minute changes in atmospheric pressure.
