I placed this camera in early September and have not step foot back on this property since. Based on the camera stats should I expect to only see deer when there is a north wind?
You can see them whenever, but that seems to be the best wind without a doubt. What camera is that for? Moultrie?I placed this camera in early September and have not step foot back on this property since. Based on the camera stats should I expect to only see deer when there is a north wind?

If they are coming straight out of the south specifically then north wind certainly lets them scent check on their way up.This is a tactacam x pro. And there are no other factors I am aware of. This stand sits atop a ridge and in a 1 acre food plot planted with a mix of clover, wheat, rape, and turnips. The deer come out of a river bottom from the south to this food plot. The stand is facing north. Land is private and no one else hunts it. There are adjacent properties to the west and south that are heavily hunted. The data is straight from the stats option on the camera. You can tag each picture with animal type and then filter - the app will spit these stats out.
This answers my question on time of day (or night) all these photos were taken. 4-12 AM shows most movement.This camera is also located in Hardeman county (even though I live in GA). Below are some stats by moon phase that I find interesting as well.

Excellent example of diurnal crepuscular movement (low light, twice a day). Peaks in movement around sunrise and sunset. I can see where this would be a strong pattern considering this camera is near a food source. Move the camera to different location and you will get different results.This camera is also located in Hardeman county (even though I live in GA).
