Cellular trail cameras in northwestern Pennsylvania have logged deer since September 21, 2026. Each day of their data is matched to the weather: fronts, barometric pressure, temperature against the past week, wind and rain. The outlook takes the coming forecast and asks how deer moved on days like it.
The rating compares each sit to an average day in the study. Poor is well below average, Fair is a little below, Good is about average or better, Excellent is well above. Mornings run from 30 minutes before sunrise to 90 minutes after. Evenings run from two hours before sunset to the end of legal light.
This is one study in its first season, so the numbers will shift as the data grows. It gives odds, not promises.
