I use to but after being let down 99 percent of the time or more. Not really worth paying any attention to.

I'll check them out. I've had some success when it was major/minor time, and not had success during those times. In my opinion your going to see deer you just have to be there from daylight to dark. The longer you are in the woods the better. My family always asks when I'll be home, I tell them either dark or I kill a deer whichever comes first. Nothing beats scouting and woodsmanship.
If i was retired and had all day every day to fish or hunt, id follow them. But like most, i have tl hunt on the rare occasion im off and the weather is decent

My work schedule and personal life dictates what days I can hunt...not the moon....my vacation days are scheduled around the first three weeks in November...Im useless to most anyone during this time period....many all day sits...doesnt matter about moon phase or even weather....these are the days I have chosen to hunt and I hope to hunt hard....I do agree weather effects daytime movement....and I hate hot weather in muzzleloader season...but it happens...and I'll hunt...because its November and thats the prime time to hunt in our area.

Every time I would see unfortunate weather headed our way for MZ season opener, my cousin and I would say the same thing: "Doesn't matter. We'll be out there anyways."
That said, after opening week, I do try and pick and choose dates to hunt based off of weather. If I see a sudden cold snap coming, I'll schedule hunting days for that.

I think their predictions are crap. Last year during muzzleloader we were hunting mornings and evenings as usual. We weren't seeing any deer. Two days in a row when we came out for lunch we saw deer everywhere. So I predicted deer were moving mid day. On the third day we went in the woods at 10:00 to hunt mid day. I killed a nice 8 pt at 1:00. Maybe I should create an app...

None. All those "predicting" apps are as gimmicky as they come imo. The only thing that I can tell you with my personal experience is full moons and warm weather makes hunting tough. Cold weather and full moon business as usual it seems.
According to the lunar table they're not supposed to be moving? At least 3 feeding in my backyard plots. They just came out. Guess they forgot to check the chart.

Call it "Hunting Time". List everyday during season as a good time to hunt.
