White tail deer are more apt to be nocturnal where they are hunted but none the less they prefer night time browsing. You will always see more deer at night than in the day time no matter where you go. When I was a boy my Dad and I counted 174 deer on about a 40 mile stretch of road. Traveling that same road during the day time we didn't even see one, and as a youth I was always looking for deer when traveling through the country. At the present I hunt a piece of property that the first day I got permission I shot a 14 pointer and hadn't even set my stand up yet. Almost got ran over by a doe and around an 8-10 pointer. This was at around 2:00 pm. Since then (Nov. 2007) I have shot only one other deer there. It truly is all about being in the right place at the right time, (and not stinking to bad). Just the other evening there is some neighbors to the land owner that hunts right next to me and I had raked a trail a little deeper in the woods than my stand sits and walked to the end of it and right at dusk I heard a deer jump a down tree and just knew he was coming my way and about 5 minutes later a single shot in the same direction. So are deer nocturnal? I would say yes but more so where they are hunted and pressured. Even the slightest activity in there play ground and they know it. The catch is, How do you convince them to be more diurnal without scareing them off or waiting for the rut when they are thinking more on breeding than bleeding?
