After the solunar period had passed, the birds were no longer in the feeding grounds. That was the last opportunity I had for any grouse hunting last fall. There was no chance for me to check the idea any further for the time being. But then, straws tell which way the wind blows. I gave the matter some thought.
Fish feed more freely during solunar periods than at other time.
The chief physical manifestation of solunar attraction is the phenomenon of ocean tides. Ocean tides have long been considered the controlling factor in governing the daily feeding times of ocean fish. Tidal movement is intensified during the full of the moon and the dark of the moon. Solunar pull or attraction is at its minimum and maximum respectively during these phases of the moon. Our farmer friend had found that, over a period of thirty-odd years, he had his best shooting during the dark of the moon and his worst shooting during the light of the moon.
