Whitetail Hunter
Whitetail by the Numbers
There is one single factor affecting deer movement more often and more consistently than any other, we are all aware of it, and serious hunters are starting to take note. Is it food sources, the moon, rain or snow, or perhaps the rut? Not quite. While all of the above can draw deer, or somehow influence deer movement, the one factor that overrides them all is simple.....temperature.
Even the rut, which we all know and believe to be the optimum time to harvest the buck of a lifetime.....can be shut down completely by warm weather. The question it seems then, is how warm does it have to be to turn off the rut? Or conversely, how cold can it get before a whitetail hunkers down to ride it out? Knowing the answers to these questions can make all the difference and make your hours on stand far more productive.
Make a mental note when you see first see deer on a hunt -- like "4:32 pm, 45 degrees, 3 does, 6 point buck". Enter this information into your log book after the day's hunt and you will absolutely begin to see a pattern of temperature and deer movement in a given area. Hunt camp and stand location should also be included in your log book for hunters that hunt in various regions. Texas is different than Wisconsin and creek bottoms are different than ridges and it does affect when the deer move in these locations. Deer in northern regions that are used to cooler temperatures will always have a different peak activity temperature window (example 35 - 48 degrees) than deer in Georgia or South Carolina.
How many times have you walked back into deer camp to hear all of the various stories and comments about the day's hunt.....it's the moon, the food, the acorns are still falling, the rut hasn't started, etc. etc. But the one you hear all the time, especially in the south is, "I think it's still too warm for the deer to move much!" In the north it's more like, "I was so cold, I just couldn't sit still any longer...way too cold for the deer to move much!" The real question here is.....How cold or hot was it and does it really affect the deer movement?" The answer is a resounding "YES....absolutely", and serious high tech whitetail hunters are taking the steps necessary to include this information in their deer hunting bag of tricks.
Along with the topo maps, moon phase calculator, peak activity charts, grunt calls, doe bleats and all of the other gadgets that we throw money at every year in hopes of getting a monster buck, hunters in the know are doing things like checking and plotting factors such as wind speed and direction, humidity, moon phase and last but not least.....temperature. Think about it...you can check your topo map and be in just the right funnel, and have the latest and greatest grunt call or bleat, and the food plot can be in plain view of your stand, and yes, it can even be during the rut, but if it's too hot or too cold for the deer in your area, you are probably going to be disappointed. Countless articles have been written about the effects of temperature on deer movement...isn't it about time we paid attention.
Scientific study has pointed out that deer movement in a given area is affected directly by temperature, and the peak activity temperature window for deer movement varies by geographic area. In other words, what may be just right in Georgia is too warm in Pennsylvania. What turns them on in Minnesota may shut them down in Louisiana. Finally, there is a better way to gather this information and put it to use to your advantage.

Can this compound bow ever hunt again?
I have two old compound bows, a Darton 600WX and an old Bear Whitetail Hunter. I recently took the Darton to a bow show to see if it needed any work, and the guy at the archery shop told me that I couldn't hunt with it. it used steel cables that you couldn't get replacements for that could snap on me at any time and would likely injure me. He said he wouldn't even recommend pulling the bowstring back ever again, and proceeded to try to sell me a brand new bow from his shop. Is this information accurate, or was this guy taking me for a ride? Can those steel cables be replaced with more modern materials?
The guy was right. They cannot repair the steel cables because they are not made any more.And they are a danger. I was shooting a Martin Cougar bow many years ago and the steel cable broke and the metal teardrop that it attached to came flying around the cam and hit me in the chest knocking me down. A goose egg the size of my fist swelled up where it hit me at. If it had hit me in the head it may have killed me. Don't shoot the bow. It just isn't worth it.
