Everybody loves a good cold front, but what if deer movement is actually more predictable when it’s abnormally hot?

In this video, I break down one of the clearest patterns I’ve documented in whitetail behavior: how extreme heat can dictate where deer bed, when they move, and why morning activity can become so important during the summer and early season.

This is why I will always hunt mornings in September and October even though its so frowned upon, my biggest buck have been taken before October 2nd. If you truly know bedding you can beat them back in these months

Ayy man, im sure you already know but......just in case nobody's told you, we all appreciate the information from the research that you do.

Uh...You know we want a night study!...LOL Great work Derrick.

I think the nighttime behavior video would be very beneficial to understanding where they may end up come morning

Nighttime behavior and public land vs private land study would be a hit (without specific locations listed)

I rolled my ankle clicking on this one

So........A deer seeks out a cool spot in hot weather? I'm glad I watched this.

I'm now 66. I hunt mornings & evenings and as much as I can. Seeing the sun🌞 rise is best...all the rest is just a bonus.🦌

This chicken tractor analogy, as a rookie homesteader myself, is tremendous 👌

Dude.. you have been a major benefit to us hunters! Love the videos and how you prove your statements and lay it out in basic terms us average guys can understand. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing!!!! Any topic you pick…. I have always learned something and appreciate the time and effort you invest.

I love your content. Thank you! Delivery of info is also top notch! Most channels say wat they are going to talk about but you have to listen through 3 hours of other StUFf to get to the real info. You do t do that. Thank you!

not only do they have an internal furnace - they also have their winter jacket on

i’ve always been an evening hunt kinda guy, and i watched your videos and decided i was gunna hunt more mornings this year and got a really nice buck opening morning…

@MrMrdave1966 1 month ago

I find my animals laying low against the ground on hot days, absorbing the lower ground temperature. I always think of this on the hot fall days, and expect the deer to be doing the same.

It was really good to talk to you at Huntstock! Thank you for your commitment to deer research. Even though a lot of times you are way over my head as far as the research goes, your sense of humor keeps me coming back for more 🤣

Thanks for confirming what I've been thinking for the last 40 years. If it's too uncomfortably hot for me to hunt, then it's too hot for the deer to move anyway.
