BUCK MOVEMENT STUDY - EPISODE 8: WHAT IS THAT BUCK DOING?

[@ricklovall6430]

Excellent information! Thank you for sharing it.

[@williamrobinson4265]

thanks for you work Dr. Demarais

[@richardcummings4374]

Thank you MSU deer lab

[@msudeerlabtv5058]

Thank you too!

[@danewhitsett2436]

This study and mini series was great! Thank you for your work and sharing it with others.

[@benstercoples]

This info is so interesting, I wish someone was doing these same studies on deer farther north.

[@jameslinzmeier368]

One has to look for this stuff.

[@Studio215official]

This series has been very informative for me as a new hunter, but this video specifically has been instrumental in understanding the way a deer thinks. I love science!

[@rmcclary66]

Great Video Thank You

I would love to see all the tracking data with movement times overlayed with moon phase and moon rise/moon set.

[@francisconti9085]

& local wind data, topography/foliage "terrain" I've been directly walking hip to shoulder for over 20 years with wild deer, this is nice generalized information, as fantastic as it is I don't think one can really get the proper understanding without being present with the animals..I'm saying it is more of a timeline rather than contextual understanding. It does create an excellent understanding of generalized dimlight/shadow and night exploitation .. bucks will disregard lighting when in testosterone surge..they'll be shuttling throughout areas looking for movements..open crossing, splitting lots, literally a roving patrol..

[@HuckFTW]

I wish you could share the raw data and let folks do their own analyses. I have so many factors I want to look into. Topography, temperature, wind speed, precipitation, cloud cover, moon phase, and habitat features. But sadly sharing that data could put deer at risk of poaching…

[@knowledge15king]

Interesting

[@jamesschroeder969]

You should do a piece on how to decifer and read those graphs.

[@NorthEastHunter27]

What about movement in temperate drops and rises etc. if it’s the rut are they gunna do what they are gunna so regardless of the weather

[@mrwoodwooker2810]

There is nothing to show. Deer movements are not based on temperature or weather conditions.

[@palitsalagivickers4588]

Can you do a day light vs. nocturnal movement time line.

[@jameslinzmeier368]

I just watched eight of these in a row. It is nice to see the graphs, but not much of this is new in reality. The one surprise though is that this says bucks walk LESS at night and bed MORE. HMMM.

[@pine0981]

That is the worst chart I've ever seen.

[@mitchelldoss4785]

Does weather affect the movements or the moon phase?

[@TheWobSmith]

weather

[@stanleybuck4195]

Are the movement patterns one or two months ahead in the north?

[@Studio215official]

Look up your state's rut dates and just adjust his data to match your rut season.

[@bryancory4728]

Hunters take it easy on the deer. I worked at a local meat processing company for over three years. I saw one hunter bring in 14 deer carcasses from a weekend of hunting. Leave some for our kids to see and for us to hit with our cars

[@zzz7zzz9]

where i live, we can only take 3 deer.

[@micahdunleavy9227]

To bad this is Mississippi and the rut data is going to be weaker and more spread out then Here in Missouri..

[@bi7235]

This guy sounds like Nick Saban.

[@MyVisualRomance]

Not as cocky and arrogant as Saban.

[@BG-bx4ey]

@@MyVisualRomance I don't see him as cocky or arrogant, nor can I comprehend how the greatest of all time can be called either. You're a clown.

[@MyVisualRomance]

@@BG-bx4ey You correct. You don’t see.
