RE: Barometric Pressure and hunting?
 

Usually a change in the pressure means bad weather. Deer will get up and feed more before a storm sets in.

RE: Barometric Pressure and hunting?
 

Generally speaking when the pressure falls it means a low front is coming in. A low front generally means a chance for precipitation. After the low front passes through it may be followed by a high front(barometer goes up). Animals can feel these pressure changes in their inner ears. I have had good luck seeing deer when the barometer is moving....be it up or down.

it's best to hunt when the barometric pressure is on the rise, staying steady, or falling<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Barometric Pressure and hunting?
 

There is no scientific evidence that deer can feel barometric pressure, in their ears of anywhere else, although many hunters believe they can. Researchers, including myself, have found that deer do move when the barometer changes, but I suspect it is a result of the changing weather conditions, like changing winds speed or direction, more or less clouds, more or less precipitation, changing temperatures. You know that you can sense when a weather change is coming by looking at the sky or by the feel of the air. Deer are much more aware of this than we are, and they react accordingly.

Just curious...what kind of researcher are you?

Hey, size may not matter but it sure IS nice!
