I've come to accept that the feeding/deer movement times coincide with the major and minor times listed by the solunar tables. I've also read that whenever sunrise/sunset times coincide with moonrise/moonset times, those should be very productive periods of the day - and if they coincide with a major/minor feeding time - that is the ulimate!. But I don't understand what constitutes and "excellent" day versus a "poor" day. October 1st and 2nd for example in southeast Michigan, are listed as best (top rated).
On the 1st, sun rises @ 7:33am, sets at 7:16pm, moon rises at 10:05am, sets @ 7:59pm. The moon is 6% waxing. Sunset and moonset are 43 minutes apart but the daytime major feeding time is 2:02pm - 4:02pm, minor feeding is 8:19am - 9:19am.
On the 2nd, sunrise 7:34am, sets 7:14pm, moonrise 11:11am, sets 8:29pm, moon is 11% waxing. The closest time is sunset and moonset of 1hr 15min. The major daytime feeding time is 2:50pm - 4:50pm and the minor is 9:07am - 10:07am.
But what makes these 2 days so special since the major/minor times do not coincide with a sunrise/sunset - moonrise/moonset combination? I think there's something about moon overhead and underfoot but I'm not sure how to calculate it or what the affect is. Thanks.
