Animals and Critters in nature start to move when the Barometer starts to drop below 27 and as it drops lower they move more.
....So when this happens, should it be like go out at all cost cause the deer will be moving?
I would try it 24-48 hrs before the Snow or Rain fronts move in.
3. When the Barometer drops below 25, 99.5% of the time you will not see a Spider on it's web. Ants will usaully travel in a straight line or you might not see any on or around the mound.
etc.,etc.,etc.......So much to learn about the barometer to list here.
....And at this point it to late so just hang it up and stay home?
No...... I have had good sucess in a light rain
That's why I believe a person can be a better hunter if they learn about the weather and nature before anything else.
I know technique is how you take it to the next level of skill
I see it different than most! I see technique as the first level of skill, but then again it's my opinion!
.... Anyone that hunts the hog with the knife has it in my book! I refer back to the hog and knife thing alot with you, I say it with respect! I envey you for doing it!
Jason, everyone down here who hunts with dogs do the same!
Have you ever seen a deer look at you and stump his foot on the ground? Many hunters say he's trying to get a movement from what he's not sure of. Not True! He's secreating a scent from the Interdigital Glands and other deer will not come close to that spot.
....How long do you think the spot is "Bad" and unusable?
Untill the first hard rain.
I turned thirty this summer, I have alot to learn. By your stories you have learned alot of it! Teach me your ways old friend!
Well my friend, I'm over 66 and been in the woods over 55yrs. Like I mentioned in another Post, for the last 20yrs when I go hunting it's for 3 to 4wks at a time.
Remember, we live in completely different areas of the country and Deer and Hog habits could be different, but the Barometer and moon Phases work the same in all parts of the World.
