We snapped a pic of an interesting one on the property. Would be a cool mount.
Anyone getting any daytime pics? All of my spots are damn near 100% nocturnal now, even the ones that don't get hunting pressure. Kinda bumming me out. I have one daytime pic of a lonely button buck behind my house in the last three weeks or so.

I'm not sure if it does or not. Maybe someone would answer that.
With this moon, you'll be lucky to see any deer during legal hunting hours this weekend. Maybe really early morning hours when they'll be going back to their beds. But you could be me, at home with a LONG list of honey-dos.
Good luck to all.
I could not find a direct answer, but it does effect whitetail, mule deer and elk(aside from many different forms of livestock). I coudn't find anything on sika deer. Maybe, it not being indigenous to this continent, sika are not as 'at risk' to the disease. Any of you easterners find any evidence of ill sika?
I"m getting all the bucks at night and the does in the evening plus night. Not sure i'm a good measuring stick cause my feeder is out in the open along a thin tree line at a creek. I don't own any thick woods. This is how it was before the rut.
Only daytime pic I got in the last two weeks was of the 8 point the moment I shot it. He was right in front of the cam. The pic was blurry so I dumped it.
Deer should have been moving late morning. I had two does feed in and bed at 40yds at 10:45 am. today. No bucks as of yet.
Everything i have is all night time. Had some does come in during the evening but everything else is a ghost. Have some nice pics of bucks i would like to meat during daylight...
so, this is my first year with my own stand which is down the hill at my home. Previously, I have been Public land hunting so I have had zero experience with the habits of dear throughout the season.
My son and I have both taken 1 doe each. Last taken was Saturday night.
So, earlier this week I had noticed a large group behind the neighbors. Last night there were 8 herded up and at my feeder 5:00PM. All does and a few fawns. No Bucks. I waited about 10 minutes to see if a buck was following but it got dark by the time they left.
Is this typical that they herd up after the rut?
Another Question, how long do the acorns last in the fall for them to eat? I'm wondering if my corn will become more desirable to them now. the quantity and time of my corn is 3PM to dump out and there is nothing left by morning. With 8 feeding, they pretty much took it all.
I find it rare that I can hunt in the mornings so I have the timing for evening.
