HAHAHA, I personally think the deer have gotten so used to people hunting them, and have moved to being just nocturnal animals anymore
I run a lot of camera's yr round, and have a LOT of deer where I have them, and from the past 10+ yrs day time pic's have gone lower and lower every yr as time has gone by, to the point now, a day time pic is rare
the woods are dead for movement all day long, you would swear there are NO deer in the area, yet come a few hrs past dark, and I can have a 80-90 der in my fields
its like they come out of the ground after dark, crazy
deer have us hunters figured out , way better than we them
and making matters worse, having crops, deer learn they can live by just eating at night, as they know food is there 24/7
so no way to stop them from eating only at night
a new breed of deer it seems my way for sure
now ad in hunting pressure in day time hrs, and they just get smarter
weather doesn't seem to get cold enough to force them to move any sooner, so they have zero reason to change??
unting has gotten harder the past few yrs due to this new movement patterns of deer my way
a few yrs back, seeing a deer in daylight was a given on a food plot, now its rare!
