It's not that you can't hunt as well on a full moon, you just have to do things much differently. Critters still have to eat, but limit their movements because they can see, and be seen, better.
The illumination of the full moon makes it much more difficult for us, as hunters, to be undetected by our targeted species. They see much better at night than we do! Our movements to calling stands, and places to call from must be different, or we'll be seen before the first call is made.....or, pinpointed and seen at the first call. The darker the night, the better we'll be hidden by our scanning and shooting lights.
It's tough enough getting to your preferred calling locations..... plotting where our scent cones are going, not being seen, or busted otherwise in total darkness, without adding the difficulty of a moonlit approach!
On the rare occasion that we even hunt anymore in full moonlight for canine predators, we always make sure that we can move and set up completely in the shadows.
Good luck!
