  The best time to go hunting is when you have time to go hunting. I
don't care what the tables say. However, if I only have time for a few
hours in a given day, I do sometimes look at the tables and hunt at the
possibly better times.

  However, be aware that local conditions, such as a front moving
through, will have more effect than the moon. The tables are are useful
thing to consider, but they are only one factor.

  I have had wonderful luck fishing at the time of the major period. For
hunting I have not noticed a great deal of effect. I still look at them,
however, because it can't hurt.
