How to Use This Calendar
★★★★★ Excellent: Best days for hunting/fishing. Moon phase and position are optimal.
★★★ Good: Solid activity expected. Favorable conditions.
★ Fair: Some activity, but not peak conditions.
Major Periods (2 hours): Peak feeding times when moon is overhead or underfoot.
Minor Periods (1 hour): Secondary feeding times at moonrise and moonset.
Best results when major periods align with dawn or dusk!
