There are 2 very significant times every day when the moon is actually closer to the earth than any other time of the day.It’s during this “peak” time that the moon has the most gravitational pull on the earth. This pull is so strong it moves the largest mass on this planet, the oceans! This pull is what triggers the tides and it triggers both animals and fish to feed. The key to this; there are only a handful of days each month when these “peak” activity times occur at primetime, when deer normally want to move anyway. This short window of opportunity is what we refer to as the Red Moon.
