04 · How to read it
Majors cluster around moon overhead and moon underfoot — roughly two-hour windows when solunar theory predicts the strongest movement. A major that lands on a falling barometer with a cold front is the one to plan a sit around.
Minors sit at moonrise and moonset — shorter, roughly one-hour windows of secondary activity. A minor that overlaps legal-light dawn or dusk is often a stronger sit than a midday major. Read it against your wind.
The 0–100 score is not just solunar — it folds temperature, pressure trend, wind, cloud cover, and moon phase into one daily number. A 75 means the variables line up; a 35 means at least one is fighting you.

Frequently asked questions
- When do deer move today in Pennsylvania?
- Deer move hardest during today's major and minor solunar feeding windows — the Pennsylvania times are listed at the top of this page and refreshed daily. Expect the strongest daylight movement around any major window that overlaps first or last legal light; that overlap is the sit to prioritize.
- What is the best time to hunt deer today in Pennsylvania?
- The windows worth planning around are the major solunar periods — roughly two-hour stretches near moon overhead and moon underfoot — paired with first and last legal light. Today's majors and minors for Pennsylvania are listed above, scored against the weather. When a major lands on dawn or dusk with a falling barometer, that's the sit to make.
- How is the hunt score calculated?
- The 0–100 score blends today's temperature, barometric pressure trend, wind speed, cloud cover, and moon phase with the time of day, computed for Pennsylvania's geographic center. A 75 or higher means the variables line up — a 35 means at least one of them is working against you.
- Are major and minor times the same as feeding times?
- Yes — solunar theory ties peak feeding and movement to the moon’s position. Majors are the stronger, roughly two-hour windows; minors are the shorter ones at moonrise and moonset. Read them against your wind and your stand, not in isolation.
- Does the moon phase change the best time to hunt?
- It shifts when deer move more than whether they move. A bright full moon can push activity into the night and soften midday — a new moon tends to concentrate movement into daylight. Today's phase for Pennsylvania is shown above with a quick note.
- Is Trail Pro Intel free?
- The app is free to use, and these state pages are free to read. Pro is $1.99/mo and adds the 10-day forecast and the full solunar calendar tied to your own stand pin instead of the state’s center.
