If you’re talking about the 11th, it was a shade of orange, and like you said, it is not a great day to see deer but certainly better than a red day. Based on the data we have, on 10/11/08 the most likely time to have seen deer would have been early morning; however, based on our DeerDays Periodic Calculator (not released yet), a secondary best time to see deer would be mid-afternoon and a little bit of late afternoon. Our periodic times are set to standard time not daylight savings time so that would have put the beginning of the latest time at about 4:30PM (5:30PM daylight savings time) meaning that this would have been near the end of the feeding period; so your sighting would have been within the limits. As per the barometric pressure, there are a lot of theories out on this one, but is seems like the most common is that deer seem to move when the pressure is changing (such as a storm moving in) as apposed to static pressure; some research indicates that deer move better when the barometer is somewhere between 29.5 and 30.5. Weather certainly has the most affect of the deer movement and would override our database calculations; it is a good idea to always be cognate of the weather and changes. One of the items I take to the woods is the Deer Hunter’s Edge by Speedtech Instruments. It gives me the barometric pressure on demand and forecast any changes. I hope this has been helpful. Happy Hunting! | :P I use DeerDays for the reports but. I might have to look into this gold member thing |

Re:Deer Today? 10/12/2008 9:42 AM | | According to deerdays yesterday wasn’t a good day to see deer, And I didn’t see any deer all day but in the afternoon my GPS came up with a weather advisory about 3 PM. I need to learn more about that part, anyway about 5.30 PM I was driving into VT to get gas and saw 6 deer in one yard and 4 in another with the bow season open within 1 mile and it didn’t get dark for another hour. so what does this mean ? was it the weather change that made the deer move early ? |

I saw lots of deer yesterday and today, but nothing worth shooting. Oh... by the way do you have any pictures of the 7pt? |
