Although more predictable fish are a great example Reb, bass and trout feed like crazy when there is a fast moving barametric trend. That barametric trend is well ahead of when the winds start up before a storm. I know one of my dogs gets really edgey before a storm. She starts staring into space well before the winds of a storm starts.

I live in the Lighting Capital of the Nation (Hillsborough County) FL, and hours before the Lighting Storm my Chihuahua starts to tremble. Before a Hurricane, she starts to tremble, cry and wants to be close to us hours before it gets here.
Well all critters in nature are the same way! Even an Ant!!! Down here when Ants invade food inyour Kitchen, theres bad weather ahead. I mean a clean kitchen!
When we see the DryDog food in the bowl covered with ants, bad weather ahead and this is the only time it happens!

I would try it 24-48 hrs before the Snow or Rain fronts move in.
No...... I have had good sucess in a light rain
I see it different than most! I see technique as the first level of skill, but then again it's my opinion!
Jason, everyone down here who hunts with dogs do the same!
Untill the first hard rain.
Well my friend, I'm over 66 and been in the woods over 55yrs. Like I mentioned in another Post, for the last 20yrs when I go hunting it's for 3 to 4wks at a time.
Remember, we live in completely different areas of the country and Deer and Hog habits could be different, but the Barometer and moon Phases work the same in all parts of the World.
Animals and Critters in nature start to move when the Barometer starts to drop below 27 and as it drops lower they move more.
....So when this happens, should it be like go out at all cost cause the deer will be moving?

3. When the Barometer drops below 25, 99.5% of the time you will not see a Spider on it's web. Ants will usaully travel in a straight line or you might not see any on or around the mound.
etc.,etc.,etc.......So much to learn about the barometer to list here.
....And at this point it to late so just hang it up and stay home?

That's why I believe a person can be a better hunter if they learn about the weather and nature before anything else.
I know technique is how you take it to the next level of skill

.... Anyone that hunts the hog with the knife has it in my book! I refer back to the hog and knife thing alot with you, I say it with respect! I envey you for doing it!

Have you ever seen a deer look at you and stump his foot on the ground? Many hunters say he's trying to get a movement from what he's not sure of. Not True! He's secreating a scent from the Interdigital Glands and other deer will not come close to that spot.
....How long do you think the spot is "Bad" and unusable?

I turned thirty this summer, I have alot to learn. By your stories you have learned alot of it! Teach me your ways old friend!

That's the way I was taught and I taught my son! Even today he will find something in the woodswe never dicussed before and if I don't know, we'll do a research on it! He's 28yrs old!
There so many hunters like that! They think hunting is to just go into the woods with the popular weapon and when you see an animal, shoot it! That's just plain Luck or there are so many animals that every where you look theres one!
Yeah, but how proficient is he with that cool stuff in his hands? Would you trust him not to accidentlyshoot you?
If I had kids I would take them out with me and have them watch and learn my techniques and hopefully others that I have picked up before they are old enough to handle a weapon.
Like you said the first level of skill. Now if I had a buddy that i wanted to teach how to hunt and told him you are just going to watch the first year or so to learn the woods and such he would probally just stay home.

But if I put some cool stuff in his hands he would probably come out and that is where I think if he had great equipment it would make up for his lack of skill. Thanks for answering the extra questions for me also!
