This is a beta version of this software. We have field tested these calculations
and we are very pleased with the results. We would like to release this product
to the public to see how well it works for everyone else. When you download this
software you agree to share your findings with deerdays.com on the forum and /
or by en early harvest of data.
The artical below will explain how DeerDays Periodic Calculator works. There is
not any help build in to the beta so you will have to understand this arital
before using it.
This beta product is for Gold Members only as of right now. Only gold member can
download this beta. Sign up now if your not currantly
a gold member.. If you are a silver member it only cost 10 more dollars to

DeerDays™ Periodic Calculator
The DeerDays™
Periodic Calculator calculates the
periods of the day in which deer are likely to move because of feeding activity;
this excludes other deer activity such as the Rut, movement caused by predators,
hunter pressure, and other causes.
The Periodic Calculator breaks the daylight day into six (6) periods of the day;
Early morning (Em), Mid morning (Mm), Late morning (Lm), Early afternoon (Ea),
Mid afternoon (Ma), and Late afternoon (La).
If a calendar day displays a “Mm” and an “[Ea]”, then these two periods
of the day are times in which deer are likely to move; however, the “[Ea]” would
indicate the most likely time for deer movement of the day. Some calendar days will display a
double period such as “[Ea Ma]” in which deer are the most likely to move during
a time span of early afternoon through mid afternoon. Keep in mind that predicting
deer feeding activity movement is difficult at best so one time period may
overlap into another time period.
Even though to date the DeerDays™
Periodic Calculator has proven fairly accurate, it is new and we continually strive to
improve it over time by the continual harvest of data and data mining activity,
therefore updates are expected to be frequent.
Below is what the DeerDays™ Calendar
would look like if both the DeerDays™
Calculator and the DeerDays™ Periodic
Calculator were both selected.
Notice the lettering in the color section of each calendar day. You’ll notice that green tint days
tend to have the most patterned deer feeding movement periods indicated where
the red tinted days have the least deer feeding movement periods.
To give you a better idea of how to use the periodic calculator, a zoom
enlargement of the 5th calendar day can be seen below.
If you’ll notice there is an "Em" period then a blank space (in which the “Mm”
period is missing), then a bracketed "[Lm]" period (the most likely period of
the daylight day to see deer due to feeding activity), next is an "Ea" period
then a blank space (in which the “Ma” period is missing), then a "La" period. Each of the listed periods is times
in which deer are likely to be moving due to feeding activity. However, the “[Lm]” indicates that
late morning is the most likely time to observe deer feeding activity. Keep in mind that this is still an
orange tinted day so deer movement due to feeding is expected to be less than on
a green tinted day, however the best opportunity to see deer in this example
would be late morning.
Below is an example of a calendar day that has a double period for the most
likely time to observe deer feeding activity.
Notice the green tint day has more possible periods to see deer feeding
activity.
Early morning, Mid morning, Early afternoon; and in brackets Mid afternoon and
Late afternoon indicating the most likely time to view deer feeding. The least
likely time to see deer feeding activity is Late morning as “Lm” is missing.
