on my cameras throughout the night. Four or five 8 pts. Two 9 pts. 10 pt. and a 12 pt. not to mention more than a few does. Only problem is nothing during the day, ive seen one all year and didn't hesitate to drop it right there. Anybody else having this problem? What can i do to get them out during the day? Im growing impatient haha

I have the same problem on my property. Just curious, is your land close to houses?

ETA: Once the sun goes down it is an all night buffet by the feeder with deer all night long only a few minutes apart.

A few houses but for the most part this area is out in the middle of nowhere.

Stop hunting over a feeder and hunt natural travel corridors

Once we get a few hard frosts the acorns and vegetation in the woods will be scarce. The deer will travel more to find food and will frequent your feeders/food plots more often. They also move around more when its cold to warm up.

Until then,

Hunt during the rut when they are chasing does.

Hunt days following nights with no moons and when it is overcast.

Stop hunting fields and food plots and find trails in the woods.

Check the time of the pics that capture deer movement, see if the deer in your area are on the lunar cycle or not.

- Modify your hunting time during the day to match the hours of the night time images.

Full moon, brah! Wait two weeks--they won't be able to see and feed as well at night.

Hunt ducks on the full moon and deer on the new moon.

I've killed just as many deer during full moon phase as any other.

2) Set the feeders in your club at a consistent schedule. 12:00 PM everyday. Make them walk during the day for food. Per the Wildlife biologist at Thistlewait.

The deer will eat the feed on the ground whenever they please though...

I figure it goes like this. If the moon is full, deer will feed more at night and in the middle of the day. Otherwise, mornings and afternoons are good. I don't read too much into it though. I do believe it helps initiate the rut though...

Plain and simple:

I hunt when I have a yard pass from the missus.
If the moon is full, new, waning, crying, bitching or sobbing, I just get out into the woods.

Took a buck on my first hunt ever with a bow. That was cool!!
