To answer your question regarding the full moon effect on animals is that during the full moon phase the deer feed over larger areas ( usually you see more sign around during this phase) but the deer because they have feed well during the night usually move into cover before daylight and come out just after dark. Obviously there are always exceptions and you do get them early in the morning and before dark.
The no moon phase is better for morning and evening hunting, generally.
Still they have to be there so better to be out there any time of the day than at home, I am amazed at the number of deer we get on the trail camera's during all times of the day and night. Big stags as well.
