Solar Weather Activity(Late Oct.2009)! The solar weather this year has been at an all-time low. Our past research has shown that active solar weather gives a definite boost to deer activity... from the increase in the geo-magnetic forces as the storms impact earth. Well, this past week the sun woke up. On October 21st and 22nd, the earth was hit with a fairly strong storm caused from new sunspots forming on the sun. The sunspots went from 0 to over 20 in 2 days. Solar winds went from a normal level to almost a 50% increase during these two days. The storm had an impact on earth until late last night (October 25). The reason I bring this up is that this all-time low in solar activity will begin to rise to normal levels, one of these days and then continue to rise to it's next solar maximum. If this last week is the beginning of this, it would be a great benefit for the upcoming weeks of the pre-rut and rut. We have many trail cameras out and last week on the 22nd, we had numerous pictures of several large bucks...one of them a monster! The times of day that they were on camera where times that weren't neccessarily great "moon times", the weather conditions were not doing anything special either. Could it have been the increased geo-magnetic forces of a space weather storm hitting the earth, pushing the animals into movement? Very possible! It's definitely something that is worth watching. Keep checking the home page space weather dials and also the solar weather page on the days you go hunting. Increased solar weather is like a big cup of coffee for the day...it gives all things a big boost! Good Luck to all...Johnny
