This hunting app allows you to track your hunts with a few taps of your finger – similar to a hunting journal, only much easier to do from the stand. The app also provides and logs hunting specific weather data that helps you make better decisions on when and where to hunt.\u00a0 Click here to learn more.The StudyIn order to provide an accurate display of peak regional activity, the Quiver team\u00a0started to research the 2015 hunting logs. From there, we worked to find the peak deer activity levels from each state, which were determined by measuring the \u201caverage # of deer seen per hunt\u201d.\u00a0 Since many of us hunters take an extended vacation to hunt the rut, we took it a bit further and determined the best overall 7-day period to hunt.\u00a0 In the end, we used weighted averages determined by the number of hunts logged in each state and placed states into specific regions to bolster the data sets since 2015\u00a0was the preliminary year for hunters to use\u00a0the Quiver Hunting App.***\u00a0RESULTS BY REGION\u00a0***(It\u2019s important to note that all of the data is reported in aggregate.
