I have a question for the sheep hunters out there. I am for the most part a moon phase hunter and fisherman. I have been told that sheep are the one species that moon phases have the least effect on. Just trying to make my hunt plans for my sheep hunt. Thanks Colin

Pretty much a non issue. Sheep go to bed at night and get up in the morning at first light, feed for awhile, then nap till dinner.

For the most part kind of true. I have caught bighorn rams on trail cameras in the middle of the night. Also one band of 12 rams were put to bed in one area and we found them the next morning. About 1km up stream. So they do move around at night.

Thanks for the replies, but I am talking about full moon compared to new moon phases. Thanks
