Top movement factors

  • Pressure: 30.21 inHg — high, stable pressure that tends to support confident daytime deer movement.
  • Rain Clearing Boost: High residual humidity (86%) with clearing conditions — deer that held tight during rain are likely to move aggressively as weather improves.
  • Warm Front: 3°F warming trend — slight negative that may shift movement toward dusk rather than dawn.
  • Temperature: 65°F — slightly above prime but still favorable. Solid crepuscular movement is likely.
  • Season: Early Season: Deer follow predictable food-source patterns. Target mast crops and ag fields at dawn and dusk.
