Your stand

This stand needs coordinates

To judge the wind and show the forecast, sun and moon times and a map, the stand in Notion needs the latitude and longitude of where it hangs.

  1. On a computer, open Google Maps and find the stand.
  2. Right-click the tree it is in. The first line of the menu is the coordinates, for example 44.3500, -81.5000. Click the numbers to copy them. (On a phone: press and hold the spot, then copy the numbers from the search box.)
  3. In Notion, open the stand in your Stands database. Paste the first number into Latitude and the second number (keep the minus sign) into Longitude.
  4. While you are there, set Good winds on the stand — the wind directions you can actually sit it on.
  5. Open the stand link again.

Latitude is between −90 and 90; longitude is between −180 and 180. West of Greenwich (all of North America) longitude is negative.

Wind verdict

Wind is the direction it blows from, which is the direction your scent does not go. Good is a wind this stand is recorded for, Marginal is one 45° step either side of one, and Wrong is anything else. Speed is the strongest sustained wind in that window, not gusts.

Forecast

Pressure trend: Rising or Falling means a change of 1.5 hPa (0.04 inHg) or more, between about 6 am and 6 pm for “today”, or in the daily average for “vs yesterday”. Anything smaller is Steady.

Sun, moon & solunar

Major period: about 2 hours, centred on the moon overhead or underfoot Minor period: about 1 hour, centred on moonrise or moonset Night

Sunrise, sunset and civil twilight here are astronomy: the times the sun's edge crosses the horizon, and the times it sits 6° below it. They do not tell you when the law permits you to hunt. Your own jurisdiction sets that, along with seasons, licences, tags and limits, and it is on you to read and follow them.
