Do you think deer are more or less active durring legal huing hours around a full moon?

An article on this site claims deer are more active around a full moon.  What do you think?

Here is the link to the article:

In my personal opinion I think I see less deer when hunting durring a full moon. I beleive the deer are more active durring the night time hours and less likley to move around durring daylight hunting hours. Most of my successful hunts have been at times when either the moon is covered by heavy clouds or no moon. The deer just seem more active durring the day to me.

I love hunting around a full moon.  It seems to me like the bucks move a little earlier in the evening.

Some experts beleive that hunting during periods of full moon -- can yield excellent results.  I think just the oppsite is true. This is just my opinion but it seems to me that when the moon is full most of the deer move at night and I see less durring the day.  I like a dark night I seem to see more deer early and late in the day when it is really dark at night.

I'm with M. Eastman on this one, despite what a lot of experts say about the full moon. I think that bucks are going to move regardless of the moon. But, if does are bedded down from being up all night feeding, the bucks may be with them and not on the move??!?
