Been thinking for a little while about getting some software that really take a deep dive through pictures. One that pulls wind direction, speed, moon etc. I don't have a huge property and not sure what I would expect to get out of it but am very interested to see if there are any interesting patterns I haven't thought about. Why does it seem like some days every field has a group of deer in it on my drive home and the next day with similar conditions nothing to be seen?
Either way just curious if you guys have tried anything or had luck with any of them. Seems like there isn't anything free out there and don't want to buy one and realise it doesn't do anything more than I can do in 2 seconds looking at the group of pictures.

I have an app on my phone called "HuntStand" by Terrsstride It uses google map, but it has the latest weather, and solunar. Not bad of a free software. huntstand.com

I do have that and use it every day I go hunting. I like that it lines up all the weather, moon up and down times as well as overhead and underfoot times. I was just thinking something I can pull up the old photos and find out the wind and moon and such.

Dusty, you ask a good question, why? There's always an answer, but they really don't want to tell us.
I think much of the data is out there, but one really needs to understand statistics to make any sense of it. There are lots of variables to consider, even interacting variables, so I think it would take a person with some advanced knowledge of statistics to understand it all.
One would think that there are some PhD Statistician hunters out there.
Most hunters understand the larger impacting variables, and this is probably all one needs to know.
If an animal is so driven to mate that it loses a significant percentage of its body weight in the process, it can be anywhere at anytime regardless of rain, snow, moon, day of week, temp or change in temp or even impending danger.
I had a buck bust me coming down my latter during the magic period. We looked at each other for what seemed to be a long time, but was seconds, and then he puts his nose back to the ground in nature driven pursuit of boss babe ...as if I were a squirrel on a tree.

Jon, after 20 years of marriage
when I'm in pursuit of boss bade she looks at me like I'm a squirrel on a tree. I hate it when she does that. LOL

Not sure if you are asking me why I want it or why it is a possibility and someone won't tell us? Either way for me I couldn't say it's going to change how I hunt or why. I'm an engineer and yes I've taken statistics although far from a PhD. I like numbers if for nothing else other than to review them. I think having more insight makes things more interesting. Trust me I'm fully aware that at the end of the day these are wild animals that can and will do the complete opposite of what I expect them to do most all days. Just something that interests me is all.

Just something that interests me is all. You might be the guy to do what I've been looking for someone to do. I meant why do they do what they do when they do it. You may have used a JMP program for statistically designed experiments to show what has significance and what variables are interactive. I know there is a lot of data on the web, but it would be interesting to see if yours corresponds with how the rest does. I'd love to see the data if you get it. I'm pretty sure that I've seen data on the web over a period of maybe 10 years, but it just didn't seem to show significance at a >95% confidence level or interacting variables as they didn't put it in a JMP program. Go for it buddy.

The best software I've seen is DeerLab. deerlab.com/ By far the most in depth out there. It takes some initial leg work to get everything setup but after that it's fairly easy to keep up with. For me the best part is the individual Buck profiles.
