Top movement factors
- Warm Front: 1°F warming trend — slight negative that may shift movement toward dusk rather than dawn.
- Cloud Cover: 70% cloud cover — reduced light and stable thermals that can make deer more comfortable moving during daylight.
- Temperature: 69°F — mild temperatures tend to taper daytime movement. The last hour of shooting light is often the best bet.
- Moon Phase: Waning Crescent (15% lit) — solunar timing may favor morning and evening movement windows.
- Season: Early Season: Deer follow predictable food-source patterns. Target mast crops and ag fields at dawn and dusk.
