There is no simple trick to consistently predicting deer movement. Many variables and even random chance swirl together in strange ways to produce the outcome you desire – seeing lots of deer and killing the ones you want to kill. But science has identified four factors that significantly influence deer movement, and by aligning as many of them in your favor each time you go hunting, you increase your odds of success.

As a journalist with the National Deer Association, Lindsay Thomas Jr. has been reporting on deer research for more than 20 years. In this video, he lists the factors identified repeatedly by science as playing significant, consistent and predictable roles in buck movement. If there’s a factor you think is important but it’s not listed here, it’s because science has not found a significant relationship.
