Today's moon phase plus the major and minor feeding periods for any date — the classic solunar windows hunters plan sits around.
Solunar theory ties feeding activity to the moon's position: major periods (~2 hours) around the moon's transit overhead and underfoot, and minor periods (~1 hour) around moonrise and moonset. Many hunters treat a major that overlaps dawn or dusk — especially on a new or full moon — as the best sit of the week.
Times here are computed from the lunar cycle (the moon lags roughly 50 minutes later each day) and are approximate by design — solunar tables everywhere are. Weather fronts and the rut move deer far more than the moon does; use these windows to break ties, not to overrule a cold front.
Research is genuinely mixed on moon phase, but two patterns show up in trail-cam datasets often enough to plan around: slightly more midday movement near the full moon, and strong dawn activity on the dark of the moon. Whatever the phase, the wind still decides which stand you can hunt.
