I don't know anything about how accurate the solunar tables are, but from many years hunting deer I definitely notice different feeding patterns in different phases of the moon. I greatly prefer to hunt during dark moon times, I always see more deer in the daylight. I also have seen enough to firmly believe that deer move more during mid-day than they do early and late when the moon is full or nearly so.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

 I'm with JW, El D and woodstick. I've seen it work with Largemouth Bass fishing,  and I've still caught them when you are not supposed to. I go hunting to get away from that everyday "work schedule" attitude. I just go hunting. If it doesn't work on a stand, I try to stalk and make something happen.

 Either way, I'm still hunting and not worrieing about one more gadget. I'm in the Woods.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
