Modified on Tue, 29 Oct at 9:05 AM



What is the Red Moon?
Red Moon is a term MoonGuide uses for the handful of days each month when the most significant gravitational pull of the Moon peaks within a few hours of primetime in the evening.

What is the MoonGuide data based off of?
The MoonGuide data is based on the gravitational pull of the moon and its position in the sky.

What do the Red & Black times mean on the MoonGuide?
The 2 times given on the MoonGuide are the "Peak Activity", times for each day. The "red" times represent when the moon has the strongest gravitational pull and the "black" times represent the 2nd strongest gravitational pull for that day.

What are the red dates in the calendar?
The red dates represent the Red Moon - the best days to hunt each month.


Does the MoonGuide information change every year?

Yes. The MoonGuide information changes every year.

Why are some times on the MoonGuide after dark where I can't hunt?
The "Peak Activity" times change daily, so some of them are going to occur after dark. This information is included for your reference only and DOES NOT mean MoonGuide suggests you hunt outside of legal hunting hours in your state.
