There’s a definite correlation to what your milkweed is doing on these high pressure days and the folks that preach higher deer movement on high pressure days....deer that pick up your scent before you see them remain unseen.
As for the cold weather and movement, my experiences are just the opposite here (SC). When the temps get brutally low here (I consider anything below 20° to be brutally cold, ymmv) I seem to see more deer up feeding. Fortunately that doesn’t happen here very often during the season. 25 years or so ago I hunted 3 days in a row here when the temps were 16°, 10° then 8° when I got out of the truck. The first two days I saw multiple deer and the last day I saw deer all day long, they were coming by in waves, lol.
