Question
Are your DAI (Deer Activity Index) calendars still available? I read your “Dark Secrets of Daytime Deer” article/chapter in the book Whitetail Wisdom and I’m very interested and would like to purchase a calendar.

Thank you.

Eric,

I created the DAI based on some good field work.  However, once GPS collars became inexpensive enough to place on deer and we started collecting more accurate data I realized the DAI wasn’t as accurate as the field observations indicated.  Based on this more accurate data I stopped publishing the DAI.  Since then it has become clear that the moon has no or very limited impact on when deer are active.

Thanks for asking and enjoy creation!
