To hot for late morning movement?

[PondPopper]

Can you please elaborate?

Low pressure= better movement.
High pressure= not so much

[Sleepy]

Can you please elaborate?

Deer respond to a pressure of 30 and above. Anywhere between 30.0-30.4, you should expect good movement, and 30.2-30.3 is really a sweet spot.

A rapidly rising pressure will greatly increase deer movement, especially at the peak of the rise.

Below 30 and above 30.4 tends to slow things down a bit, as well as a falling pressure.

Now, the reason behind all this.

Deer have an "internal barometer". This is how they predict weather moving in, which causes them to get on their feet and feed. A cold front will always bring in a high pressure system and the deer sense this high pressure, the reason we tend to see more movement with a cold front. After a front as already blown through, the pressure generally "sky rockets" out of their "zone" and they sense this also, which lets them know the front is over and their feeding frenzy slows down. Then the pressure starts falling again. They sense the falling and they know there isn't any threatening weather on its way, which relaxes them and gets them back to a "normal" pattern.

I'm confused doesn't low-pressure come with cold fronts and high-pressure with good weather?

Opposite. With this last front that rolled in, we went from 30.0 to 30.6 within a day and a half...that's massive. After the front blew threw and this warmer weather hit, it's been back in the 29's. More north wind coming in tonight and the pressure will be back up to 30.1-30.2 for the next few days. Should be some great movement.

Thanks

It just seems the weather man on TV always ha a big L behind fronts and a big H when weather is nice...

I'm gonna start paying more attention to this

Btw, what is your favorite barometric pressure prediction site?

[old ranch hand]

Wow, I love this site. I recently joined and I'm glad I did. I've been hunting my whole life (successfully) and I can't believe the useful info I've been learning from this site! Great job guys keep it up.

[BufordT]

Supposed to be a good front coming in this weekend, with the rut winding down in east texas and not many acorns left on our place, should the feeders be being hit harder?

ScoutLook Hunting App

Best hunting app out there that I've found. It gives you a 10 day forecast, 72 hr barometric forecast, "scent cone" (like primos wind app) and you can set points where your stands are and it will give you all this information for each stand location.

Solunar tables are way overrated. Full moon and the last quarter can have SOME affect.

Solunar tables are based off of fishing stats, and I don't know about you, but my deer don't live in the water and chase rattle traps.

Use barametric pressure if anything to dictate your length or time on stand

A lot of folks miss out on mid-day deer movement. I probably get to my stand around 9AM as often as I do before sun up. I often see more deer between the hours of 10-1 than I do the first couple of hours of day light. And that is regardless of what moon is out.

I was not seeking to promote, debate or otherwise discredit the effectiveness of solunar tables-only offer insight into their function an how they work. Personally I have had great success using them as I have found them correlate between my hunting AND fishing logs. I don't use an app, my theories have been arrived at over years in the water and woods with logs that I can go back through to establish patterns and behavior of both aquatic and terrestrial animals alike.

I stayed in my blind until 11 yesterday and it was miserable. Crows and rabbit was all I saw.

I wasn't trying to bash your moon theory. There ARE a couple of moon phases that will affect deer movement during the day. I think my post was directed to those that rely on the solunar table to dictate when they hunt, like major and minor feeding periods. That seems to be what everyone wants to know or talks about. I was just giving some insight on other conditions that I believe produce more deer movement and have been proven in the field.

Very cool, thnx

I am learning more daily and normally just got out before sunrise and stay in my climber all day-noting better to do and I take lunch, so it works for me. I guess I am paranoid that the time it takes to use the climber to get down, go rest in the truck, and climb back up, I could have just slept in the stand.

I will keep learning and using some of the principles here to see what works for me.

Great info. Thank you.
