What sort of impact would a decrease in barometric pressure that drops from the 30s to 29s? And how important is the timing of the drop?
Is deer movement most affected before, during or after?
In this specific instance the forecast is windy (10 mph) with the pressure forecasted to drop after midnight tonight.
Would you expect best hunting this evening or in the morning?

Re: Barometric pressure
Pressure is relative to the time of year. As the season progresses the average readings change so what's normal for November won't be for October. A drop in pressure indicates a storm or front usually. The pressure rises after a front. High pressure days are usually your sunny clear days. Changes in pressure seem to get deer moving. I prefer after a front but before can also be good

Re: Barometric pressure
To better answer your question I'd hunt tonight and again when the pressure is back on the rise

Re: Barometric pressure
I hear a lot of guys talk about pressure. Is there a good app or resource that will help see if its going up or down?
