Model EE 1 User s Manual Speedtech ECO EDGE Model EE 1 User s Manual INTRODUCTION Congratulations on purchasing the Speedtech ECO EDGE You now have a technologically advanced instrument which will maximize your outdoor exploration SCIENTIFIC BASIS Wildlife scientists have documented daily activity patterns in animals as diverse and different as marine worms and humans These daily or circadian rhythms are believed to result from an interaction between hormonally triggered reactions in the ani mals and cyclic environmental events Combined these factors control a wide array of animal functions and behavior including reproduction feeding growth thermal regulation body condi tion and perhaps most important seasonal and daily movements While environmental phenomena such as cyclic changes in moon phase and position relative to the earth have been used to predict animal behavior with some success other environmental factors also play an important role Photoperiod and sun position have been conclusively demonstrated to affect the behavior of large game animals deer and elk in particular In addition seasonal weather patterns local weather events and air temperature all have been identified in scientific studies as very important fac tors influencing the activity and behavior of these large game animals Most often these activities are related to the physiolog ical demands of maintaining optimal foragi
