AcuRite Sportsman’s Weather Station — Wireless Outdoor Sensor, Hunting & Fishing Activity Meter, Moon Phase

The AcuRite Sportsman’s Weather Station (00249) is a compact indoor display plus wireless outdoor sensor that combines temperature, barometric pressure and moon phase to highlight prime hunting and fishing activity windows.

Designed for anglers and hunters who want hyperlocal, easy-to-read environmental cues, this AcuRite unit pairs an indoor console with a remote outdoor sensor to deliver current conditions, short-term forecasts and a wildlife activity meter. It tracks outdoor temperature, records daily and monthly highs and lows, shows barometric pressure trends and displays moon phase graphics. The integrated Intelli-Time® clock sets itself and updates for daylight saving time, while a removable tabletop stand keeps the display convenient on any flat surface.

How does this weather station estimate hunting and fishing activity?

The unit correlates barometric pressure trends, moon phase and current temperature to produce a simple activity meter that signals favorable or less favorable wildlife movement. It does not guarantee results but offers a quick, data-driven snapshot to help you plan outings.

• Uses in-display barometer readings from the outdoor sensor for localized pressure trends.
• Shows moon phase graphics that can be factored into animal behavior patterns.
• Combines multiple environmental inputs into an easy-to-interpret activity icon.
• Provides 12-hour hyperlocal forecast based on current conditions.

What weather information and records can I view on the display?

The Intelli-Time clock sets itself and automatically updates for daylight saving changes, while the removable stand lets you position the console wherever it’s most visible.
