Nocternal Deer

[robertyb]

They are starting to move a bit .the gun season just ended to day and hope that makes a difference .

I am not certain that hunting pressure makes that much difference in when they move. I have a 5 acre field behind my house in town where the deer are not hunted at all. For the past 5 to 6 weeks I have only seen a few deer crossing the field at all during daylight hours and none stopping to feed in my food plot. But after dark they come out to feed (I shine them). In the past week they have started coming back out before dark to feed and yesterday evening there were 7 out feeding about an hour before dark even though there were fireworks popping all around the neighborhood. I expect that as the days get longer I will be seeing them feeding more and more during day light hours.
