0:00.0	Steve, happy Monday. Glad that you're allowing ex-owned police to celebrate Labor Day today.
0:09.1	Yeah. It was funny. I actually had to like, I had to ask Rob who works for SNS. He's like,
0:15.0	do we normally take Labor Day off? Because I think this is the first one in 10 years that I'm not
0:20.2	out hunting. So what normally happens on Labor Day? I don't know. I'm always gone. Good problem to
0:28.3	have, I guess. Just back from Alaska, obviously, and just hanging out with the wife and kids here
0:33.6	before I take off hunting some more. Yeah, cool. Well, actually, yeah, we're pre-recording this
0:38.5	on Friday. So we aren't working today and enjoying some time outside for sure. But yeah, I just
0:44.0	wanted to get into listening questions for this Monday Minute and get it out there for you guys.
0:48.8	Some of the questions we had are timely, even from recent hunts and things like that. So
0:54.0	thought it'd be fun to get into that. The first one was from Landon who was in Idaho.

1:11.5	few hunts in which there was a full moon. In the majority of the hunt, I felt like it dramatically
1:16.2	impacted the animals. Recently, my wife were packed in for a four day hunt. We had a massive,
1:22.2	bright full moon the whole hunt. I had been scouting this area last for the last month and had
1:27.7	been regularly seen about ten bucks in this specific spot with some occasional elk. But in this
1:33.2	last four days of hunting, we only saw two bucks and that was it. He's heard a lot of people talk
1:39.3	about animals feeding at night during the bright full moon and then just betting all day.
1:44.0	Has that been your experience as well? How do you adjust hunting plans around a full moon
1:50.2	or any other tips for those times? We've talked more about elk hunting during a full moon.
2:00.5	But I'm curious what's been your experience specifically like for him? He was hunting meal dear. He
2:04.4	had bucks located for a month and then he goes in there for a four day hunt and can't locate them.
