Does anyone really follow this ? I mean i play the wind and kinda take a guess and the storms and what not that come in.But i have heard some say that the rise and fall of the baromettric pressure aftects whitetail.Was wonderin if this is true and how you use it. thanks will
well every time a front comes in the bp changes. when a cool front comes in the bp goes down and deer move more than normal. some one can correct me if im wrong.
29.10 - 30.40 raising for falling between this range is what i was told, by my bow-hunting-big-brother is when you wanna pounce. i have been keeping a pretty good tab on this so far with the help of my watch that will let me know the last 3 hrs and the 3hrs before that. i'll hit him back and ask why, just didnt want to get smacked in the face at the time for questioning the MASTER! =-) baro along with moon phases is what he swears by
I watch the barometer continuously all year. What I have read and noticed is that deer seem to move most when going from high (1010mb+) to low(1005mb-) than other times. They seem to move around more and prefer low pressure systems more than high pressure systems. The reason for this is scent carries much better during lows than highs. During highs I have actually seen my feather wind checkers rise from my stand. High pressure systems also will dry out their noses (and ours) and they like to keep their noses damp to better facilitate scenting. The above also applies to other wild animals that I have observed as far as movment when going from high to low.
