3m 43s
Rusty McDaniels from Mossy Oak breaks down how the weather drives deer movement, and how we can view and use this data in the OnX Hunt app.
• After a front:
When a rain front pushes through and leaves cooler temps, blue skies, and rising high pressure, deer tend to get up and feed for the next two or three days.
• Before a front:
Rusty believes deer sense the coming change and move ahead of the storm.
• The numbers:
Pressure is measured in inches of mercury. Rusty’s rule of thumb is to target readings around 30.
• Temperature matters too:
Heat suppresses movement, and a temperature drop usually gets deer moving.
He then shows how to see all of this in the OnX Hunt app. Tap "Insights" in the bottom right, open the 3-day deer movement forecast, and tap "Extended Hourly Forecast".
