Hi everyone! Just want to let you all know that Jeff is hunting on our new property this morning, which unfortunately, he won’t have cell service. He will most definitely try to answer any and all questions just as soon as he can. Thank you for watching and I wish all of you a happy hunting season! Good luck today, babe!!
Zack G - Yes, up there in Buffalo County! I believe this will be Jeff’s first hunt on this property, he’s excited. A lot of hard work has gone into this new piece, can’t wait to see the rewards!!
@@dianesturgis470 ... oh wow.. I knew you guys were in Wisconsin, but I didn't realize how applicable Jeff's advice is. I'm in Rochester, MN and I hunt a little closer to the WI/MN border so Jeff's information is so applicable to me. I'm a first year bow hunter, first year hill country hunter. Please tell Jeff his videos have helped me so much by teaching me how to go about scouting for deer in this area... Thanks again for what you guys do for the hunting community!
Took a 2 x 5 tonight. Suddenly noticed the daytime temp didn't get over 52 today. Been up around 60. Hit the stand around 5. Just after 6 had a spike come in. He stood at 25 yards for the longest time just looking off. I kept looking over, but didn't see anything. He suddenly moved off past me. Looked behind me to the left and saw what I though was a big 8 and two other deer I never got a good look at. All 4 deer went off out of sight. I hit the bleet can twice and then a couple grunts. What I thought was the big 8 came back into 27 yards and stood broad side. He ended up being 5 on one side and 2 on the other. My first Buck ever at 47 years young. Love your channel. Thanks,
Love your channel .... I had a hypothesis about when I’d see big bucks glad to see your confirming my hunch.. And started staying out of my sets about 10 yrs ago when the weather wasn’t on my side...and my man cave has 7 bucks hanging on the wall all over 150” because of it... you just showed me a couple more days I didn’t think about , like hunting heavy winds... I stayed out of the stand on those days...
Really appreciate all the information you provide to us through your channel and website Jeff. Every video you do is packed with information, and I love it. I was born and raised in Los Angels, California. Moved to Moorhead, Minnesota and hunt West Central Minnesota. Never had family who hunted, so I had to do my own research. Found your channel and just nabbed my first Buck last Saturday in the first 2 hours of firearm opener. Nice 6 pointer. Had a chance to shoot an 8 pointer with a bow this season, about 15 yards off my stand, but got too excited and overshot. Living in Minnesota, I feel like your conditions are very similar to us, so I’m subscribed and watched every video you have at least once if not twice. Keep up the great work, you’re quite literally teaching hundreds if not thousands of generations of deer hunters by the work you do. 👍🏼🦌
Honestly, I admire you a ton for creating this strategy out of a desire to spend more time with family by targeting the highest value sits. I imagine you have a great family life with that mindset. I know my wife appreciates all that I'm learning from you, too! haha
Hey Jeff my first year bow hunting I've watched probably over 200 of your videos in last few weeks just wanted to say thank you and I hope to use a lot of these things I've learned!!!!
So I put this method to the test scouting today. Since yesterday, temps dropped 13 degrees, pressure rose into the 30’s, and wind dipped from 15 to 4 mph. Tonight while scouting I saw MORE deer and MORE mature bucks in daylight than I have all season so far. Mr. Sturgis, hunting the weather like this, to me, looks more promising than hunting with “red moons” and such that I also have tested. Thank you. Hopefully I’ll get my first buck this year
Had an awesome morning yesterday. Saw 2 huge buck walking to my stand.Hit a nice 8pt at 7:05 on the ground at 23 yards. Looked for 7hours.Never laid down.Hit him too far forward. Ran out of small drops of blood after 250 yards.Really sucks ..But it happens to all of us..Tomorrow is another day..Big ones are moving in Pa.
This is no joke it’s true this morning it was 37 degrees and 30.3 high pressure. Temperature and pressure met and ended up seeing 16 deer and 6 were bucks this morning. Thanks Jeff
I haven't seen you mention it in this, or another video of yours I've watched(or comments) so I'll say it.. Weather Underground has a feature on the app that allows you to choose set conditions (B-press, temp, wind speed, gusts, cloud cover etc.), and you can select values of your ideal(or "acceptable ") conditions, and it will graph the conditions hourly for each day. Long line=good, no line equals condition not met, short line=less than ideal. It's pretty awesome and a good visual to go along with your "circled" times/dates.
Thanks for the videos! I’ve been hunting temp changes big for the last 2 years and it works! Just killed a 12 point on the cold front Saturday morning here in southern MI!
Thanks Jeff. I was planning an all day sit on Friday, but this little voice in my head said "does this stand have all the ingredients?"... Answer was a "Big Fat No"! 😀 Great morning sit stand and that's what I'm going for. Right outside a bucks bedroom. Fingers Crossed. Good luck on your Split Brow Adventure.
Great video Jeff, I’ve learned so much from you, I only hunt weather now! I also look at the weather several Times each day. I told you earlier in the year I was confident just based on how I manicured our 15 acres around your videos. Shot my first buck 13 days ago and also a big doe 6 days later. Not a huge buck but I’ll tell you what, I couldn’t be prouder, You’ve changed EVERYTHING for me sir! Thank you so very much....,, hope you’re keeping your chin up and hope your doing ok. Thanks again Jeff 🙏🙏🙏
Of all the topics that you’ve covered over time, this has to be my favorite! The adage, “When temp and pressure meet, deer are on their feet” has been a key focal point to my hunts for a time now, but if I’m “missing 1/2” the opportunities to hunt with this dictum, I guess I need dig deeper into weather. I’ve watched this video a couple of times and it covers a lot of info quickly…I’ve had trouble sifting out the kernels of knowledge that highlight those goods days where temp and pressure aren’t the only factors. Can we go through that again a little slower maybe 🤔?
I’m goin to try this weather sites for here. Great informative video brother. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. You and your camera man be safe out there GOD BLESS.
Cold fronts really help. I haven’t hunted them but I caught a mature 12 pointer on cam(in the morning) on two acres right after a cold front.👍. And a lot of smaller ones
North Carolina/South Carolina next Friday, Saturday (Nov. 1-2) is looking good. Good temp drop and, as you said, that pressure and temp are coming together, actually overlapping those two mornings. Between that and the good underfoot moon that first full week of November, I'd say we'll see some nice ones coming in November 1-9.
Jeff got lots of rain coming here tomorrow and Saturday then gonna stop Sunday morning. I plan on sitting Sunday night. Got a food plot that I can hunt non invasively so hopefully the deer are ready to feed after the rain.
I don't check the weather with apps. I check the SPC day 1 and check the National Weather Service forecast, their predictions are alot better than AccuWeather or Weather Bug. When it comes to radars I use Radar Scope. I'm a storm spotter, I'm fairly good at telling when to get the heck off my stand and when I'm ok to get in it lol
Great content as always. Sadly most hunters don't know a lot of these tricks. Hopefully as they convert to smart phones and different computer and video technologies they will stumble on this content. The new mobile apps are really good too! Good luck to all you hunters out there in 2020!
Thank you for asking! I really do. I have several under my advanced whitetail strategies playlist on the channel. Also if you search on UA-cam "when to hunt a morning stand", "morning rut hunting", "morning rut cruising stand", "morning and evening deer hunting"...I have lots of videos that come to the top. That goes for just about any whitetail topic...of you search the topic my videos will come up at the top - typically several of them. Hope that helps!
How do you successfully play the wind when hunting deep on public land and also no spread scent all over the woods with potential of possible bedded buck that could have come past your stand? I've become very confident in my topography map reading and finding benches and that most definitely where I'm finding the most buck action. I.e scrapes and rubs. I wanna learn more about how to set stands according to winds and thermals. That's been my largest learning curve in 12yrs of hunting here in NC. Currently have branched out and started ohio public land hunting first time was 2nd week of October 2021 and actually was very proud of the work I put in. Seen 3 bucks total and 4 doe. But these where all young bucks I want to have the most knowledge I can before entering back into ohio 1week of November. Thanks it's Currently 12a.m and I've been watching you're videos since about 7:30pm. I'm addicted and pushing myself to try learn this and follow along.
What are your thoughts of getting out there early before they “wake up” like 4:30am then sitting until 10am on good weather days like this? Or should it all depend on the day? I know the neighbors come out at about 5/6am with the atvs EVERY year religiously. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish feed him for a lifetime.
Great video! Lots of content! But you were forgetting the true nature of the video…… What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for windshifts? Are you looking for cold fronts ? Or, do you look for warm spells? You go into great detail but you do not explain what you are basically trying to pinpoint
The hourly forecast on Weather.gov is way better than accuweather imho. It gives a really good chart out to six days out and it has both wind direction and velocity.
I like to look at the DeerCast app that the Drury’s made. Do you think that app is descent to go off of. I’m trying to learn how to watch the weather and know when to hunt by myself but since I’m not extremely knowledgeable with it yet I like to look at that app to see if it says good or bad, etc.
Hi Jeff, I really enjoy your videos, I am in Ontario Canada and hunt in a huge cedar swamp with ag fields in every direction but we are at least 300 yds in any direction from any of it. Also we hunt in raised blinds. Would you say that all day sits apply to this type of area that is in deep deep cover and bedding areas? Thanks - Brent Nixon
I hunt in Lapeer county Michigan on 40 acres I just bought. I’m mainly hunting to fill the freezer and not only big bucks. Would you say the weather tips hold up for does as well?
Thanks for the video! Always watching the weather this time of year! Any advice on watching the wind on a flat property, other than picking the right stand? Always heard growing up that the bucks don’t move when it’s windy.... apparently not correct
Hey bud. Love the videos. Information overload. Haha. Do you have any clients in South Carolina? I’m from Columbia. Just wondering how well your deer hunting strategies would work here. Look forward to the next video.
Hey Jeff I love your videos and have learned a great amount on your videos but I have a question. On these days that are better to hunt where would be the most ideal spot to hunt? Say I have a deer hitting a food plot at 8 o clock at night but know where he beds 400 yards away. Should I hunt his bedding Area, the foodplot or in between? Thanks!
One app I use is “HuntWise”, a pretty good app. Shows geological map showing your precise locations, allows to you to mark trails/ stands/ plots/ etc., and shows a real time map of wind blowing, a really decent app.
Thanks for the video and info. When you say when temp and press meet etc. Do you mean when they meet exactly or when the are similar? If the latter, how close should the values be to use them as a determinate for when to hunt?
Question from a Blacktail hunter in the PNW. If you aren't having any trail cam pics of your go to buck or bucks on a given section for let's say a few days but the weather moves in and is perfect for those stands do you hunt there? Or find the area you are hoping there in? If that makes any sense.
So I've seen in a few videos now how you say weather forecasts are offset one day. Before I thought you said just the lows are the next morning but this video you said Sunday's high is actually Monday's high? What is this reasoning for this offset of days? Is it just Sunday low is monday morning temp or is the entire days data for the next day? Just looking for some clarification it still hasn't fully made sense, no rush on the answer! Thanks for your videos Jeff, I am a forester so it's nice to be able to pick up on most of what you say.
When you have accuweather open, how fast do you scroll up and down? Do you glance at the screen every now and then or do you stare until yo find what you are looking for? Hope I get some answers...want to apply them to my hunting strategy
I am not seeing barometric pressure forecasts on either Accuweather.com or Weather.com. Where is this data on the pages mentioned or where can I find forecasts for it?
Ive watched this video about 3 times now over the last year. Huntwise is showing tomorrow and Monday as high-odds days. Does this all apply to early season in your opinion too or would you wait to hit these high-weather-odds days until mid October?
If you think Accuweather is good Weather.gov is way more detailed and has more info .One can get river levels which is needed if one has to cross a small river or float down for a hunt .NOAA are the guys that produce the best forecasts
You get a chance brother talk bout how you would hunt in Tn. It kinda sounds like the situation there where your at will work here. I figure deer are deer not much difference in where I’m at. Correct me if I’m wrong now. I’m not beyond being corrected. Great video I’m wanting to go on a couple evening hunts for some reason. Be safe out there GOD BLESS.
Can you talk about how fog/dense fog effects deer movement in hill country? The other morning it was pea soup on top of the mountain where I hunt and I realized I don’t know how that would effect movement, I’m assuming they don’t because I didn’t see anything!
What if you have a temp change drop after a rain event with a pressure rise but not a rise in wind speed. Would you hunt it? After a rain event passes, do you hunt the next day with a temp drop or look out 36 to 72 hours? Why wait so long?
I have yet to have five weather apps have the wind right or even the same. I've gone to stand areas and glassed from afar to check the wind direction before I even get close. I hang surveyor tape and it never matches what the app says. Never
They almost always will. He doesn't factor Bar press hardly at all. This is because, for instance, north wind high pressure systems bring cold air(temp changes), and increase in pressure. They are almost synonymous. So, if you have a 15-20 deg temp drop, you will always have an increase in pressure (high pressure systems from north). Maje sense?
I differently need schooling about weather and other deer tactic I Remember 23 years ago I was hunting in Lewinston MI with a friend we had these walkies talkies from Radio Shack head phone I remember someone telling me about if your see a doe and her tail doesn't flips up a Buck is near by well all of a Sudden out of the pines here walks out the biggest Ten Point I have ever Seen It was a Cold Day I can't remember if there was any wind blowing but the was snow on the grow and I was sitting on a Old fallen tree, This big Ten Pointer walked right by me without seeing me sitting on it because I didn't move a inch I had the opportunity for a broad side shot but because It was my first time hunting Buck fervor sat in the ten Pointer was 8 steps away from me if I had a camera you would believe what I encounter that wintered day as I turned to shoot him 3 step he was gone a chance of a life time getting my First Buck Sense that I have seen a 4 pointer and then a lot of doe's
Ryan Feldman just in my personal experience I’ve always paid more attention to change than any particular degree. Like if you have rain for 2 days solid then the third is dry and sunny. I’ve always had a lot of luck hunting that first change day. Hope that helps you some. I’m not near Jeff’s caliber of hunting or skill but just sharing my personal experiences.
Evan Myers - That is my department, Would love to get you information. I'm not finding an email from you. Let me know your email or phone and I can connect with you. Or send another message directly to info@whitetailhabitatsolutions.com. We do have Jeff's calendar laid out where he will be throughout the year, so depending on your location I should be able to let you know when we have availability. Hope to hear from you soon.
Just a FYI, don't believe a damn thing a weather man or one of those weather websites says. You'd be MUCH better off relying on the old time ways of getting an idea of what the weather will do.
I'm sorry dude but the rest of us have actual jobs that don't let us pick and choose which days we hunts. We dont hunt for a LIVING. We hunt when we CAN. Thanks for being precocious though
Hi everyone! Just want to let you all know that Jeff is hunting on our new property this morning, which unfortunately, he won’t have cell service. He will most definitely try to answer any and all questions just as soon as he can. Thank you for watching and I wish all of you a happy hunting season! Good luck today, babe!!
Up by me in Buffalo County? :) Good luck, Jeff. I had to work early but saw deer out my window after daybreak on my property.
Zack G - Yes, up there in Buffalo County! I believe this will be Jeff’s first hunt on this property, he’s excited. A lot of hard work has gone into this new piece, can’t wait to see the rewards!!
@@dianesturgis470 Tell him good luck. Back Strap rewards.
Paul Crave - For sure, back straps sounds like an amazing reward to me!!
@@dianesturgis470 ... oh wow.. I knew you guys were in Wisconsin, but I didn't realize how applicable Jeff's advice is.

Heading out tonight on public but hitting the hot spot tomorrow AM in West Michigan. Thanks buddy
Thanks for the videos! I’ve been hunting temp changes big for the last 2 years and it works! Just killed a 12 point on the cold front Saturday morning here in southern MI!
This is very helpful I have the app never knew all the features thanks. I'm 57 haven't bow hunted for years time to get back out.
Great video i told my gf about them and we have watched them and it all makes total sense i hunted yesterday and saw 5 deer and put one down
Thanks Jeff. I was planning an all day sit on Friday, but this little voice in my head said "does this stand have all the ingredients?"...

I find you amazing! I have seen Gene and Barry Wensel in a few seminars. I rank you right up there buddy!! You are incredible. Thank you!
A change is coming but its the wrong wind. I'll have to buy another property.
I’m goin to try this weather sites for here. Great informative video brother. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. You and your camera man be safe out there GOD BLESS.
Cold fronts really help. I haven’t hunted them but I caught a mature 12 pointer on cam(in the morning) on two acres right after a cold front.👍. And a lot of smaller ones
Cleveland Ohio Go Date: 11-1 &11-2. Raining .3” Thursday with a morning temp 40 while Friday sunny with morning temp 30
I'm going out 11-1 also
North Carolina/South Carolina next Friday, Saturday (Nov. 1-2) is looking good. Good temp drop and, as you said, that pressure and temp are coming together, actually overlapping those two mornings.

On my way to very first bow hunt Jeff!
Man, that is so cool K...good luck! Truly enjoy it...that's a real special sit!
Good luck to you

Great video. I need to become a student of the weather too.
Look at the week of Halloween!! At least here in Indiana it looks pretty good.
keep the video's coming in, great stuff.
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and get rid of him for the whole weekend. (Another take on it)
D Mouse - I like your take on it!! 😀
Jeff, idea for a video for you... Morning stand Or evening stand... what makes a stand good for morning or evening. Do you have one already like that?

Would love to have you down in Iowa on my land and see what improvements I can do
Appreciate the info
I can use the same philosophy in Georgia Or does this just applied to the northern states
Jeff you X out days that rain. What about snowfall. What is your thoughts on snowfall?
Morning brother. I was goin to go this morning but my back is out again.
GMA
What are your views on hunting right in creek bottoms?Winds are never consistent?
I hunt in MI, Thursday night I nearly shot a giant (5 more feet out and I would’ve)Friday night passed on a 5, Saturday shot my first coyote 😂

One app I use is “HuntWise”, a pretty good app. Shows geological map showing your precise locations, allows to you to mark trails/ stands/ plots/ etc., and shows a real time map of wind blowing, a really decent app.
Thanks for the video and info. When you say when temp and press meet etc. Do you mean when they meet exactly or when the are similar? If the latter, how close should the values be to use them as a determinate for when to hunt?
Question from a Blacktail hunter in the PNW. If you aren't having any trail cam pics of your go to buck or bucks on a given section for let's say a few days but the weather moves in and is perfect for those stands do you hunt there? Or find the area you are hoping there in? If that makes any sense.
So I've seen in a few videos now how you say weather forecasts are offset one day. Before I thought you said just the lows are the next morning but this video you said Sunday's high is actually Monday's high? What is this reasoning for this offset of days? Is it just Sunday low is monday morning temp or is the entire days data for the next day? Just looking for some clarification it still hasn't fully made sense, no rush on the answer! Thanks for your videos Jeff, I am a forester so it's nice to be able to pick up on most of what you say.
Do you ever hunt the rain? I love hunting in rain and snow sometimes
When you have accuweather open, how fast do you scroll up and down? Do you glance at the screen every now and then or do you stare until yo find what you are looking for? Hope I get some answers...want to apply them to my hunting strategy
Not to be off topic but, I just got a summit viper steel and was wondering what Jeff's thoughts are on climbing stands.
I am not seeing barometric pressure forecasts on either Accuweather.com or Weather.com. Where is this data on the pages mentioned or where can I find forecasts for it?
Great video as ALWAYS, out of curiosity which phone are you using now Sir and hope you get that split brow buck soon
Ive watched this video about 3 times now over the last year. Huntwise is showing tomorrow and Monday as high-odds days. Does this all apply to early season in your opinion too or would you wait to hit these high-weather-odds days until mid October?
If you think Accuweather is good Weather.gov is way more detailed and has more info .One can get river levels which is needed if one has to cross a small river or float down for a hunt .NOAA are the guys that produce the best forecasts
You get a chance brother talk bout how you would hunt in Tn. It kinda sounds like the situation there where your at will work here. I figure deer are deer not much difference in where I’m at. Correct me if I’m wrong now. I’m not beyond being corrected. Great video I’m wanting to go on a couple evening hunts for some reason. Be safe out there GOD BLESS.
Randle I am in SE Tn. Cleveland to be exact. I have been following Jeff for A while now and what he teaches with the weather is accurate here also.
Rene Brookerd I figured it was. He knows his stuff for sure. Thank you GOD BLESS.
Randle where you from?
Rene Brookerd Overton Co on the Cumberland plateau next to Putnam co.
Can you talk about how fog/dense fog effects deer movement in hill country? The other morning it was pea soup on top of the mountain where I hunt and I realized I don’t know how that would effect movement, I’m assuming they don’t because I didn’t see anything!
Would a rise in temperature from 50s everyday to suddenly 70s the next day have an equally positive effect or would it be negative for the hunting ?
Where are you located in wisconsin I’m in dodge county area! I would love to hear back and get some great information and to meet you!
You really expect that question to get answered?
What if you have a temp change drop after a rain event with a pressure rise but not a rise in wind speed. Would you hunt it? After a rain event passes, do you hunt the next day with a temp drop or look out 36 to 72 hours? Why wait so long?
Yep. Looks like I’m going to have to call into work and tell them I’m running a fever... Buck fever that is. LOL
Very informative but unfortunately in New Mexico we only have a 5 day hunt and that’s it so you really can’t be choosy
* replies in buck grunts * grunt grunt snort wheeze grunt.
I need help getting on hunt wise app
What's your black line for on weather underground?
Hey jeff what climbing treestands do you use?
How was the first sit in buffalo county?
If your ever in South Carolina I got a property I would love to develop better lol
I have yet to have five weather apps have the wind right or even the same. I've gone to stand areas and glassed from afar to check the wind direction before I even get close. I hang surveyor tape and it never matches what the app says. Never
In other words look when temp and pressure move together?
They almost always will. He doesn't factor Bar press hardly at all. This is because, for instance, north wind high pressure systems bring cold air(temp changes), and increase in pressure. They are almost synonymous. So, if you have a 15-20 deg temp drop, you will always have an increase in pressure (high pressure systems from north). Maje sense?
Are you saying the colder the better?
I differently need schooling about weather and other deer tactic I Remember 23 years ago I was hunting in Lewinston MI with a friend we had these walkies talkies from Radio Shack head phone I remember someone telling me about if your see a doe and her tail doesn't flips up a Buck is near by well all of a Sudden out of the pines here walks out the biggest Ten Point I have ever Seen It was a Cold Day I can't remember if there was any wind blowing but the was snow on the grow and I was sitting on a Old fallen tree, This big Ten Pointer walked right by me without seeing me sitting on it because I didn't move a inch I had the opportunity for a broad side shot but because It was my first time hunting Buck fervor sat in the ten Pointer was 8 steps away from me if I had a camera you would believe what I encounter that wintered day as I turned to shoot him 3 step he was gone a chance of a life time getting my First Buck Sense that I have seen a 4 pointer and then a lot of doe's
Wind is king!
U see that split brow buck?
Amen Justin!
when speaking of wind direction ,say a NNW wind. Is that the direction wind is blowing or the direction its coming from?
Coming from
How does this relate to barometric pressure?
Ryan Feldman just in my personal experience I’ve always paid more attention to change than any particular degree. Like if you have rain for 2 days solid then the third is dry and sunny. I’ve always had a lot of luck hunting that first change day. Hope that helps you some. I’m not near Jeff’s caliber of hunting or skill but just sharing my personal experiences.
The hardest part about hunting is when you have multiple stands on the property and can’t decide which one to go to. Lol 😳🤦🏻♂️
Thanks Jeff. I sent you a message on your website “Hire Jeff” please get back with me,Thanks! Awesome video.
Evan Myers - That is my department, Would love to get you information. I'm not finding an email from you. Let me know your email or phone and I can connect with you. Or send another message directly to info@whitetailhabitatsolutions.com. We do have Jeff's calendar laid out where he will be throughout the year, so depending on your location I should be able to let you know when we have availability. Hope to hear from you soon.
Low p countter clock wise high p ckock wise niice cold front comeing next week on holoween get reddy
and low winds
Just a FYI, don't believe a damn thing a weather man or one of those weather websites says. You'd be MUCH better off relying on the old time ways of getting an idea of what the weather will do.
Wat
I'm sorry dude but the rest of us have actual jobs that don't let us pick and choose which days we hunts. We dont hunt for a LIVING. We hunt when we CAN. Thanks for being precocious though
