Nope. I just go when I get the time and chance.

I used them for fishing and, well, I can't exist with so much scheduling. I fish/hunt when I can...

Nope haven't used charts, but I have adjusted the times I go depending on weather or not the moon was out the night before.
I go later in the day and forget about early morning and evening calling as they usually only get out and about mid day and at night during full moon cycles.
If you can hunt at night calling during full moon might be more difficult. I have found they tend to be more jumpy as they also know that if they can see so can we.

Years ago Gerald Stewart and I were weathered in down in Texas in a very nice bunkhouse, and during the course of a rambling eight-hour conversation Gerald volunteered that he was a great believer in the Solunar tables, and in particular a table that was generated by some fella down there in that State. When he first mentioned it I thought that he was pulling my leg, having always assumed that the concept was on par with the examination of chicken entrails in order to divine the future, but he assured me that he'd proven a correlation to his own satisfaction, and to the point that he preferentially scheduled his hunts in accordance with the predictions of the tables.
I have no personal opinion on the idea, except that I do lean in the direction of Victor, who once observed that,
"If you believe it, you'll see it."

i swear by them... read them every day like the horoscope.
given my time is contrained and limited.. i don't let them govern when i go hunting... but i expect if one kept some stats... there would be correlations to be found after documenting a 1000 or so hunting days.
