[QUOTE="DeerCamp, post: 5058718, member: 21011"] The only disagreement I have had with Penn State is regarding their "deer movement doesn't change with weather" studies that got quite a bit of traction. I went back and forth with Dr. Diefenbach on this one for a couple reasons that I felt make the study lower value. To his credit he did respond. 1. They excluded data from November to try and account for rut movement, but this is exactly when I think the impact of weather is the greatest, and when it matters most to hunters. 2. The study used "total movements" but couldn't really account for distances travelled all that well. 3. The study primarily focused on does 4. I have years of trail cam data and for a while hunting logs that directly contradict the findings of the study. There was not a strong case for them to make the assertion that "weather doesn't significantly affect deer movements" based on that study, in my opinion. But I am a big advocate of the work they are doing. Super informative overall. [/QUOTE]
