Has anyone ever seen graphs of game cameras activity vs:
- so-lunar tables
- time
- moon phases
- fronts
- temp
- barometric pressure (changes)
- hunting season starting
etc.

Hmmmm. You bout to send CNC down a mighty deep Rabbit hole.

If I had access to the data I would put together a 575 dozen graphs myself.

I always thought/heard that deer move a lot before a front, but per my game camera, the before the front activity doesn't seem to change, but after the front the activity goes sky-high.

High activity after a front.
High activity for cold blooded animals before a front.
Sorry, but I don't have stats.
Deer movement-- through camera and personal
observation for 64 years.
And deer do move in windy conditions.

My 1st year hunting (6 yrs ago) I did a massive spreadsheet on three game cameras and tracked all data you mentioned including direction they traveled. Major weather drops and barometric pressure changes was noticeable. Also wind speed.

Yes, I have graphs to show it also

Freestate - Is this data from your cameras or is it a larger data set from Hunt Perfect?

I don't know about before , after or during fronts but I can say if it starts snowing just before dark, it's magic! I've been out a few afternoons hunting food source when it started sleeting and snowing late afternoon . Every time the buck movement is unbelievable . I just love blood in the snow.

Just my cameras on one of my leases. It’s a really cool web based program. You can actually automate the whole process by having your cell cameras send the photos to hunt perfect

Freestate can you define moderate vs light wind

I think it’s 10mph but I’ll double check

This kind of stuff really interests me, but I am always cautious of graphs and charts. For instance, in the graph showing movement vs wind speed, you really need a second graph, or at least a reference, to what percentage of the time the wind was light vs moderate. For example, if during the time the camera was used the wind was light 50% of the time and 65% of movement was during light wind, they move almost twice as much during light wind. But if the wind was light 80% of the time and 65% of movement was during light wind, then they move twice as much during moderate wind. I like the graphs but you can make wrong inferences without all the data.

To be fair, the intention is not to have you only hunt according to the data but helps you make a decision when you might should try harder to get in the woods. It’s helped my sightings tremendously but any data without context is useless

I understand that entirely. And I wasn't disagreeing with the data or your use of it. Just pointing out a general concept on that kind of stuff. Anything that helps you be more efficient and effective while also giving you more desire to get out there is all good in my book.

I hunt when I get time to hunt. I am just interested in information like this. So often, what we "think" isn't that accurate.

Will look into the hunt perfect site. Sounds interesting.

seen an article years ago claiming that the 4-5 day Waking moon cycle accounted for more than half of the big buck slayings. but it was a limited study in some other state. The waking moon is when the moon is just coming out again after being dark. Too many kids relying on apps, moon cycle and such instead of just getting out there, is leading to less kills.

If you own a newer tactacam it’ll do it for you. I run mine based off locations and it lets me know what BP, wind, temp, etc most pics are taken and at what time. Pretty simple to run, pretty cool feature too
