Preface:
This study was completed in Western New York with non-fenced whitetail deer on private parcels. I will start by saying, I’m not a scientist. Although I may use a scientific method to collect data, that is as far as my scientific background goes. Boots on the ground, collecting camera data and multiple hunt sits led to the two years of data prescribed in the following report.
This study was completed in 2024. The game camera locations were set in many various locations such as deep timber, including timber edges where two habitats meet, thicket bedding, swamp land, ridges, Ag field edges, pond edges, creek crossings and wooded plot fields.
This study’s goal is to show deer movement during daylight only and hold a non-biased position as to what may correlate with the deer movement. The cameras were placed in many different locations to not hold any favoritism to any one spot or location. The study didn’t focus on what habitat the deer were moving in, just movement in daylight in general and the correlation of why.
This study completed by Ryan Reading a member with Fall Obsession Outdoors. Although, Fall Obsession played no role in the study and remains rightfully biased to any presented information.
LOCATIONS
Research encompassed two separate140 acre tracts of land. One region, mainly timber situated in the Town of Charlotte New York and the other 140-acre location mostly Ag land near Westfield New York.
TECHNOLOGY
The study was conducted using 19 Tactacam Reveal non-baited cameras. The study looked at 2022-2024 years during the months of October and November only. The study focused on the two months in which most hunters will have the opportunity to hunt and need vital information on deer movement. This study ONLY focused on daytime movement in front of the cameras and hunting sits by eye witnesses.
There have been many myths passed down generation to generation on the reasons whitetail deer move during the daylight. This study was implemented in hopes of gaining a better understanding of why whitetail deer move at certain times.
The deer movement study looked at several different factors across the board over the two-year period during the October and November timeframes. The study factored in such criteria as wind & direction, moon rise & set as well as moon phase, temperatures, barometric pressure, precipitation, earth’s magnetic fields. NOAA and Crowd Mag applications were used to obtain geomagnetic fields for the dates that coincided with the studies where most sightings per day took place.
The study did not take into consideration the “RUT” as these days vary in different zones, although the study did use dates and timeframes considered to be during the “RUT”. The whitetail movement study also did not factor in water or food. The study was mainly concerned about daylight whitetail movement, no matter what the deer were observed doing. As we know, food and water are the main components of a living animal and cannot be factored into the study, just pure movement during daylight.
The Daylight Whitetail Movement Chart was compiled using 19 Tactacm Reveal Game cameras in 2022 and 2024 during the October and November months.
The chart that is graphed shows daily movements between October 1 and November 31during the 2022 and 2024 season. This chart reflects how many deer were seen on camera or witnessed for that given day across the two 140-acre locations. Again, these are wild animals and not fenced.
THE WNY WHITETAIL DAYLIGHT MOVEMENT DATA
The graph reflects daylight movement only and days with no field there were zero whitetail observed during daylight hours.
The study then focused its attention on the movement graph above, only looking at whitetail sighting days with four or more sightings on any given day maximizing the greatest number of days with the greatest number of sightings.
These days were then labelled:
OCTOBER – 3RD,6TH,10TH,11TH,17TH,22ND,23RD,24TH,28TH,29TH,30TH,31ST,
NOVEMBER- 1ST,2ND,3RD,7TH,8TH,9TH,10TH,12TH,24TH,25TH,
The study then attempted to correlate these specific days where the deer movement was above 4 sightings per day, against a myriad of thought processes and environmental conditions. The study wanted to correlate why higher day deer movements would happen and what was effecting that movement.
REVEAL
There seemed no direct correlation between temperature or precipitation or barometric pressure. Although high variations of those could keep an animal grounded with less movement, our goal was to find when whitetail had more movement, not less. With all the data compiled and no smoking gun we have to look at other variables. This led us to many studies that have been completed. Not just deer but other animals and even human studies.
There have been studies completed that show deer and other animals may possess “magneto reception” where the deer may be able to detect the earth’s magnetic field changes. This would possibly reflect how whitetail move before and after a storm and hunters just relate the movement based upon the weather front. The study shares a 2008 article in reference to the possibility.
Before I share the study from North Carolina, I will share some other information.
What is Magnetoreception?
Magneto reception is the ability of animals to detect and respond to Earth's magnetic field.
This ability is used by various animals, including birds, fish, and insects, for navigation, migration, and other behaviors.
Humans may also possess a subconscious ability to respond to changes in the Earth's magnetic field, though this is still under investigation.
How Animals Sense Magnetic Fields:
· Magnetite-Based Mechanisms:
Some animals, like birds, have magnetite crystals in their bodies that align with the magnetic field, potentially acting as a biological compass.
· Light-Sensitive Chemical Mechanisms:
Other animals, like birds, may use light-sensitive proteins called crypto chromes, which form magnetically sensitive chemical intermediaries called radical pairs, to detect magnetic fields.
· Electromagnetic Induction:
Some animals, like sharks and rays, may have electro receptive systems that can detect the electromotive force induced by Earth's magnetic field.
Studying Magneto reception in Humans:
· EEG Studies:
Researchers use electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity and detect potential responses to changes in magnetic fields.
· Controlled Magnetic Fields:
Experiments involve exposing participants to controlled magnetic fields while monitoring their brain activity.
· Faraday Cages:
Some studies use Faraday cages to shield participants from external electromagnetic interference, allowing for more accurate measurements.
· Brainwave Activity:
Researchers look for changes in brainwave patterns, particularly in the alpha band, that might indicate a response to the magnetic field.
Evidence of Magneto reception in Humans:
Some studies suggest that humans may have a subconscious ability to respond to changes in the Earth's magnetic field, though it's unclear whether this impacts behavior.
Researchers have found that certain rotations of Earth-strength magnetic fields can elicit significant and replicable effects on brainwave activity in the human brain.
Scientists at Caltech have built an experimental chamber to apply a controlled magnetic field, then used EEG to test humans for brain responses to field changes.
A study published in eNeuro suggests that our brains may indeed detect magnetic fields, at least in some people.

Moo North: Cattle and Deer May Sense Earth's Magnetic Field
Google Earth photos and field studies reveal animals lining up north–south
BY JR MINKEL
The Sciences
Forget cow tipping—next time you want to mess with a bovine friend, try waving a magnet inits face.
Researchers have found that when grazing or resting, cattle and deer tend to point their bodies toward Earth's magnetic poles, which suggests they are able to sense magnetic fields in the same way as many smaller animals. German and Czech researchers used Google Earth satellite images to look at 8,510 domestic cattle in 308 pastures located randomly across six continents. They also studied body alignment in 2,974 red and roe deer in the Czech Republic, either by photographing the animals or checking the impressions they left in snow. The team reports in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA that the animals tended to point north or south but not in other directions. When the researchers were able to examine the position of the head in the case of red and roe deer, they found the animals tended to point north. The group ruled out other reasons, such as wind or sun, for why grazing animals might orient themselves that way. There was no consistent wind pattern among the different locations, study author Hynek Burda, a zoologist at the University of Duisburg–Essen in
Germany, says. And if the animals were basking in the sun, researchers would have seen
them standing outside of one another's shadows. More tellingly, in places such as the coastal U.S. where the direction of the magnetic north pole differs from geographic north (the latter defined by Earth's axis of rotation), the group found that cattle positioned themselves toward the magnetic poles. Researchers have found evidence for a magnetic sense in animals ranging from fruit flies to mice and mole rats to fish, amphibians and birds (but not humans). The study shows that "the magnetic sense is virtually ubiquitous," says sensory biologist John Phillips of Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg, who has studied it in other animals. "It's not simply in the realm of animals that move very large distances." The sense can come from small magnetic particles in cells, but some animals such as birds also seem to perceive magnetic fields as changes in light intensity, due to effects of the fields on light-sensitive pigments in the eye. To look for a magnetic sense in larger animals, the group's first idea was to study camping humans, Burda says. "We wanted to study some kind of spontaneous behavior, because learning experiments can sometimes become very frustrating," he says. Migratory animals may use the ability to get a sense of direction or construct a map in their heads for navigating, according to Phillips. Evidence for a magnetic sense in cattle and deer suggests to him that it may be a more basic tool for mentally mapping their everyday surroundings and learning new landmarks. "I think it'll...make us rethink what this kind of sensory ability is used for," he says. It may also come in handy if you're ever lost in a cow pasture.
JR MINKEL was a news reporter for Scientific American.
The study taking that into consideration will also look at earth’s magnetic fields on the specific days listed for deer movement with more than four sightings.
There were also some studies done at UNC Chapel Hill. Here is what they found.

Magnetoreception
The idea that animals perceive Earth’s magnetic field was once dismissed as impossible by physicists and biologists alike. Earth’s field is much too weak for an organism to detect, the argument went, and there are no possible biological mechanisms capable of converting magnetic-field information into electrical signals used by the nervous system.
Over time, however, evidence accumulated that animals do indeed perceive magnetic fields. It is now clear that diverse animals, ranging from invertebrates such as molluscs and insects to vertebrates such as sea turtles and birds, exploit information in Earth’s field to guide their movements over distances both large and small. What has remained mysterious is exactly how they do this.
Determining how the magnetic sense functions is an exciting frontier of sensory physiology. For sensory systems such as vision, hearing, and smell, the cells and structures involved in perceiving relevant sensory stimuli have been largely identified, and the basic way in which the sense operates is understood. In contrast, the cells that function as receptors for the magnetic sense have not been identified with certainty in any animal. Even the basic principles around which magnetic sensitivity is organized remain a matter of debate.
Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, provides animals with different sorts of information, which can be used for different purposes in navigation, as compasses and as maps. Sea turtles, salmon, and a few other animals use these magnetic cues to navigate during long-distance migrations. In the case of sea turtles, magnetic map information can be used either to guide a turtle toward a particular area or to help it assess its approximate location along a transoceanic migratory route. In effect, sea turtles have a low-resolution biological equivalent of a global positioning system, but one that is based on geomagnetic information instead of on satellite signals.
Experimental setup used in magnetic navigation experiments with sea turtles Hatchling loggerhead turtles were placed in a soft cloth harness and tethered in a circular pool of water surrounded by a magnetic coil system (boxlike structure), which could be used to reproduce the exact magnetic fields that exist in different parts of the ocean. Turtles swam in different directions when exposed to magnetic fields that exist at different locations along the migratory route, demonstrating that they can use Earth’s field to assess their geographic position in the ocean (Lohmann et al. 2001; Putman et al., 2011; Lohmann et al. 2012).
Searching for magnetoreceptors
Exactly how animals perceive magnetic fields is not known. There are several reasons why locating magnetoreceptors has proven to be unusually difficult. First, magnetic fields are unlike other sensory stimuli in that they pass unimpeded through biological tissue. Receptors for senses such as olfaction and vision must make contact with the external environment, but magneto receptors might plausibly be located almost anywhere inside an animal’s body. Second, magneto receptors might be tiny and dispersed throughout a large volume of tissue. Third, the transduction process might occur as a set of chemical reactions, in which case no obvious organ or structure devoted to this sensory system necessarily exists. If you imagine trying to find a small number of submicroscopic structures, possibly located inside cells scattered anywhere within an animal’s body, then you can begin to appreciate the challenge.
Several mechanisms have been proposed that might underlie magnetic-field detection. Most recent research, however, has focused on three main ideas: electromagnetic induction, magnetite, and chemical magnetoreception.
Electromagnetic induction
If a small bar composed of an electrically conductive material moves steadily through a magnetic field in any direction except parallel to the field lines, positively and negatively charged particles migrate to opposite sides of the bar. This results in a constant voltage, which in turn depends on the speed and direction of the bar’s motion relative to the magnetic field. If the moving bar is in a conductive medium that is stationary relative to the field, an electrical circuit is formed and current flows through the medium and the bar.
This same principle of electromagnetic induction might explain how elasmobranch fish (sharks, rays, and skates) perceive magnetism. The bodies of these animals are conductive. In addition, the fish have sensitive electroreceptors called ampulla of Lorenzini. These receptors are so sensitive to weak electrical changes that they might detect the voltage drop of induced currents that arise as the fish swim through Earth’s field. Whether elasmobranchs actually detect magnetic fields in this way, however, is not known.
Possible mechanism for a magnetic compass based on electromagnetic induction As a shark swims through Earth’s magnetic field, it induces weak electric currents to flow through the surrounding seawater. The induced current depends partly on the heading of the shark relative to the magnetic field. In effect, the shark uses its electric sense to infer its magnetic heading. (After Kalmijn 1978.)
Although using electromagnetic induction for magneto reception may be plausible for elasmobranchs, it has two significant requirements: The animal must have sensitive electroreceptors, and the animal must live in an electrically conductive environment. Unlike water, air does not conduct electricity, so this mechanism appears unlikely for terrestrial animals. In addition, many aquatic animals such as sea turtles appear to lack electroreceptors, implying that another mechanism must be used.
Magnetite
A second hypothesis is that crystals of the mineral magnetite (Fe3O4) provide the physical basis for magneto reception. The idea was inspired partly by the discovery that some bacteria produce magnetite crystals; as a result, the bacteria are physically rotated into alignment with magnetic field lines and can move along them. Magnetite has been detected in diverse animals known to perceive magnetic fields, but particularly detailed studies have been done with fish and birds.
In trout, magnetite has been found in the nose and appears to be closely associated with a nerve that responds to magnetic stimuli. Magnetite isolated from fish and other animals has mainly been in the form of single-domain crystals similar to those in bacteria. Single-domain crystals are tiny (about 50 nanometers [nm] in diameter), and each is a permanent magnet that will align with Earth’s magnetic field if permitted to rotate freely.
Such crystals might provide the basis for a magnetic sense in several different ways. For example, magnetite crystals might activate secondary receptors (such as hair cells, stretch receptors, or mechanoreceptors) as the particles try to align with the geomagnetic field. Alternatively, if magnetite crystals are located within cells and are connected to ion channels by cytoskeletal filaments, then the rotation of intracellular magnetite crystals might open ion channels directly, thus allowing ions to flow across the cell membrane to produce electrical signals used in communication by the brain and nervous system.
A hypothetical magnetite-based magnetoreceptor. The green rectangle indicates a chain of single-domain magnetite crystals that forms a biological compass needle. The coils represent secondary receptors (stretch receptors) attached to the compass needle. The compass needle always attempts to rotate into alignment with Earth’s magnetic field but is constrained by the secondary receptors and has a limited range of motion. (1) When the animal is oriented in such a way that the compass needle is aligned toward the north, no force is exerted on either of the secondary receptors. (2) When the animal is oriented so that the compass needle is aligned in any other direction, one of the secondary receptors is stretched, eliciting action potentials, while the other is compressed. A few such receptor units, arranged orthogonally, could hypothetically provide the basis for a magnetic compass.
Chemical magnetoreception
Another hypothesis is that magneto reception involves a set of unusual biochemical reactions that are influenced by Earth’s magnetic field. The hypothesized reactions involve pairs of free radicals (molecules with unpaired electrons) as fleeting intermediates. For this reason, the idea is sometimes called the radical pairs hypothesis.
The details of these chemical reactions are highly complex, but the putative process begins with an electron transfer from a donor molecule, A, to an acceptor molecule, B. This leaves each molecule with an unpaired electron; the two unpaired electrons have spins that are either opposite (singlet state) or parallel (triplet state). For a brief instant, the spin of each unpaired electron processes, which means the axis of rotation changes in a way that can be likened to a spinning top wobbling around a vertical axis as it slows down. Precession of electron spins is caused by interactions with the local magnetic environment, which in turn depends on the combined magnetic fields generated by the spins and orbital motions of unpaired electrons and magnetic nuclei, plus the orientation and strength of any external field. Because the two unpaired electrons of molecules A and B encounter slightly different magnetic forces, they precess at different rates.
After a brief period of time, the electron that was transferred returns to the donor, a process known as bank transfer. Depending on the time that elapsed before bank transfer and the rates of precession for the two electrons, the original singlet or triplet state of the donor might be preserved or altered. For example, if bank transfer occurs quickly, then the electron spins will have precessed little and are likely to remain in their original opposite or parallel state, resulting in no change to molecules A and B. Alternatively, in a longer reaction, differences in the precession rates of the two unpaired electrons can change the original spin relationship, in which case A is chemically altered. This, in turn, can influence subsequent reactions or the chemical products that ultimately result. In sum, because an ambient magnetic field can influence the precession of electron spins under some circumstances, magnetic fields can influence some chemical reactions.
Where these reactions occur in animals, if indeed they do, is not known. An interesting clue, however, is that many of the best-known radical pair reactions begin with electron transfers that are induced by the absorption of light. This has led to the suggestion that chemical magnetoreceptors might also be photoreceptors. Recent attention has focused on crypto chromes, which are blue-sensitive photoreceptive proteins known to exist in numerous animals. Some researchers think that crypto chromes have the right chemical properties to function as magneto receptors.
The most direct evidence for crypto chrome involvement has come from experiments with the fruit fly Drosophila, in which flies were trained to enter one arm of a simple maze on the basis of magnetic-field conditions. Mutant flies lacking genes for crypto chrome were unable to perform this task, but magnetic sensitivity was restored when crypto chrome genes were inserted into the flies. Further research will be needed to determine whether the principles discovered in flies are applicable to other organisms.

Here is another exterior link to another article compiled about deer and cattle during storms which references the possibility.
Citing the UNC study and several probabilities for magneto reception, Whitetail may also possess that ability. If, in fact, magneto reception is, in fact a possible outlier, this could explain why during heavy storms, lightning, and so on, animals take shelter. The magneto response may be too much for them to handle as the electromagnetism of the earth during those times may be to great and overload their receptors.
Another thought would be, if you have animals in highly mineralized areas they may also be affected differently. A possible example is, if the region is high in magnetite, that during the higher periods of electromagnetism of the earth, it may resonate even higher. This could lead to animal receptors being so overwhelmed they even leave that given area for some time. Just something to think about.
Lastly, I won’t site any documentation but for reference, if we look at wind turbines. Turbines do give off emf. The electromagnetic waves, or pressure waves give off noise that can be construed as infrasound. Why is that important?
In the area of western New York, where part of this study was conducted, many turbines have dotted the landscape. We will look not during the construction of turbines but the subsequent years after completion. These turbines emitting sound pressure waves seemingly have affected whitetail movement patterns and locations they seek for bedding. Hunters in the region have noticed a decline in animal sightings in and around immediate areas of the turbines. Many turbines were installed into the habitat and power line regions were demolished and opened. Some areas were whitetail habitat ranges. Oddly enough, whitetail have not returned to those areas as I have spoken with hunters and farmers who have turbines on their land. They state they will see the deer but they keep their distance from the turbines.
The whitetail in the area seem to seek out bedding areas farther away from the turbines. My conclusion would be that the pressure waves or emf, directly affect the whitetail, so as the sound waves inhibit their receptors from functioning correctly. This would mean their receptors are overloaded daily by that emf and receptors won’t function naturally as whitetail need them to. This allows the receptors not to be in balance with nature. That being said, if an animal or whitetail is not in balance with its surroundings the potential for survival would surely decline due to many natural and predator aspects.
The Western New York study also looked at the moon’s influence using the phases of the moon and other local weather data for the years and months studied.
The charts below will represent the study period and the dates with the most movement will be cross referenced with this data. The phases are listed for October and November 2022 – 2024.
This will also show the first quarter, full,new and last quarters. Comparing that to the data received by camera movement one can understand what phases deer may potentially move more. There may be a link to the moon but for other reasonings explained in the previous study from North Carolina.
One could speculate, that during certain moon phases the moons gravitational pull on earth is greater and if animals are receptive and magnetoreception plays a roll, this could be a reason. At certain times, larger bucks seem to be on their feet in daylight hours or (odd) timeframes. Could electromagnatism play a greater role?
This by no means is meant to be an end all be all but an ongoing study into deer movement patterns and possibilities in western New York. We are extrapolating the data and correlating it against many factors. When these factors don’t aline, we must look elsewhere. Continued testing and theory models will have to be studied.

DETAIL
While the corresponding data sets are from the Buffalo region, the study areas are within 50 miles. The data comes from the main source in the region.
CONCLUSION
After correlating the complete data sets using the abovementioned criteria, I am not sure there is a clear complete correlation between certain environmental factors and whitetail movements.
In the study, I wanted to be as non-biased as I possibly could analyzing the data. Cross referencing the main movement days listed within all the elements that were possible. While at certain times it would seem the weather or moon played a role, just as many other times it didn’t.
I am stuck with the data. I cannot change the data. While conducting these studies doesn’t have an overall control per say, it makes it difficult to pin down what could cause whitetail movements except other possibilities.
I started to investigate the role of how weather and electromagnetism work hand in hand many times and even mineralization in the ground. I also started to look at infrasound possibilities like dolphins and other animals have and why some animals become beached as their receptor abilities have been hindered.
Hypothetically speaking. If we started to follow the magneto response in animals and can grasp what triggers that response in whitetail, we could ultimately predict the movement patterns if in fact that could be a movement possibility.
Animals mainly have photoreceptors and magneto receptors along with infrared and electroreceptors. These receptors could play a pivotal role in their survival which would lead me to believe that animals rely on them. If an animal relies on these receptors to survive as humans do with senses, what’s to say we shouldn’t take that into account when attempting to pattern the times that the animals move? This will be an ongoing and continued study into researching dynamics of how or why animals move.
