Ask any paramedic and he will tell you that the moon phase causes lots of things to happen.
I am a firefighter/paramedic and have been on the job over 15 years. I've never bought that theory. My wife, who was an ER Nurse when we met, swears by it. I guess that's a discussion for another day.
But to be clear, CA does point to the photocycle priming the deer and the moon setting it off.
