[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5540390, member: 17"] Finally got my weather data analyzed. This data is 35 years of hunter observations from one property totaling 9,033.64 hunting hours. Below are two graphs, antlerless deer (does and fawns) sighting rates and buck sighting rates. Each graph has two lines, one for morning hunts based on the morning low temperature, and afternoon hunts based on the afternoon high temperature. Antlerless sightings are pretty straight-forward with declining rates - both morning and evening - the warmer it gets. The buck sighting rates are a bit odd. Morning rates show a slow decline with increasing low temperature, but afternoon rates show a lull in the 40s and 50s, followed by a significant uptick in sightings into the upper 60s, then a rapid decline after the upper 60s. Not sure why that would be. Both graphs are limited to November, as that is our peak month of data collection. The fact that November is also our rut month may be why buck sighting rates do not track antlerless sighting rates, as bucks are going to want to be moving no matter what. [/QUOTE]
