Best deer movement/ temperature drops or rain/snow?

Unread postby Denisboyko22 » Wed Dec 25, 2019 4:07 am

I was hunting a week ago a day where it started snowing alittle close to closing at the end of the day and I had a group of deer come out 15 minutes before sunset and the next day I hunted the spot where they came from and shined the fields and didnt see a single deer compared to the 15 plus deer I shined but the next day the temperature dropped over 20 degrees and I thought that would help but it didnt at all haha just wondering what experiences other people have had , that'll help me decide what days I'll hunt this up coming week where theres some good temperature drops and a rainy /snowy day but I'll have to call off work for those days

I’ve had days where is thought everything lined up perfect...wind weather and pressure and saw nothing. I’ve had days where going in I wasn’t going to expect much and I end up killing something.
...so yeah changing weather fronts are ideal to hunt and I try to be out hunting during these times, but it guarantees you nothing. There’s are tons of other variables that play in that influence what you do and do not see. Some of these you can control and some you cannot.

10-15 degree temp drops, regardless of precipitation, is the best.

I always see highest deer activity right after a weather event that was significant enough to disrupt their usual activities.

Much more than 15 degree change in temp I’ve noticed sometimes it seems to shut the deer down for a day or so anyone else notice this as well
