S1-E25: Does WIND Actually Impact Deer Movement?

Does Temperature Affect Deer Movement?

Few things excite deer hunters more than a cold front. The impact of temperature on deer movement (both positive and negative) is almost gospel within the deer hunting community. But, as is the case with barometric pressure, science doesn’t help back up these claims. So, how should a deer hunter make sense of the 10-day forecast in fall? What Scientists Say The belief that weather and temperature impact deer movement has inspired a few studies on...

Does Barometric Pressure Affect Deer Movement?

Hunting deer, especially mature bucks, involves a constant balancing act between getting into positions that allow shot opportunities while trying to keep deer unaware of your presence. Each time you go into a stand or spot, you risk educating deer. The key is to know when to be aggressive and when to be conservative. While there are many factors that consistently successful hunters consider when making this determination, barometric pressure is...

How Mark Drury Predicts Buck Movement Based on Wind

The name Drury has become synonymous with deer hunting. Dubbed “the mad scientist” by some hunters, Mark Drury has dissected deer behavior—specifically mature buck movement—for decades. And there’s certainly a method to his madness. Drury’s smartphone application, DeerCast, launched in 2018. He says it correlates atmospheric conditions with deer movement based on 40 years of research. The proprietary algorithm can now predict deer movement with...
