HuntFish Pressure Score
Pressure is one of the strongest predictors of deer movement. This score blends rising/falling trends with temperature, wind, and pre/post-front timing.

Storm-Front Timeline
Deer often move hardest in the window before and after a front. Watch how your current conditions line up with the storm cycle.

Deer Movement Predictor
This predictor uses pressure value, trend, and rate of change to estimate how aggressive deer movement is likely to be.
Loading…
- Best: Sharp rise after a front or sharp fall before a front
- Solid: Moderate, steady rise with clear skies
- Slow: Flat, stable pressure with no other triggers
Rising Pressure
When pressure rises after a front, deer often move earlier and more confidently. Clear skies, stable winds, and improving conditions create predictable feeding windows — especially in the first 12 hours after a major pressure jump.
Why Rising Pressure Helps
- Signals improving weather
- Encourages deer to feed after laying low
- Often aligns with calm, stable winds
- Boosts daylight movement
Falling Pressure
Falling pressure signals an approaching front. Deer sense the shift and often feed aggressively before storms. Movement spikes in the hours leading up to rain, snow, or major wind changes.
Why Falling Pressure Matters
- Deer feed heavily before storms
- Movement increases 6–12 hours before a front
- Works best when paired with dropping temps
- Can create short but intense activity windows
Stable Pressure
Stable pressure produces predictable but often low-intensity movement. Deer stick to bedding-to-food patterns and avoid unnecessary travel unless other factors — temperature, wind, moon — create additional incentives.
What Stable Pressure Means
- Consistent but mild movement
- Deer conserve energy
- Best for pattern-based hunts
- Works well early season and late season
Pressure + Other Factors
Pressure alone doesn’t tell the whole story. The best movement happens when pressure aligns with other environmental triggers.
Best Combinations
- Rising pressure + cold front
- Falling pressure + pre-storm feeding
- Stable pressure + consistent wind
- High pressure + clear skies + low temps
