This video is aimed at showing how active the deer are on my property in daylight. So many hunters fail to see deer in daylight on their properties because they either have poor habitat or the deer feel too pressured. I am in a position where I can see a massive bedding area of several acres. These deer are on their feet several times every day, and bucks are frequently seen moving around looking for girls.
In my opinion, there is no such thing as nocturnal deer. If you are only capturing trail camera pictures of deer at night it is likely that your property is somewhere they don’t want to be in daytime. Getting them to use your small property in daylight requires two things. 1. Low hunting pressure and 2. Good habitat.
Low hunting pressure can be achieved with good scent control and good stand access. Good habitat means cover and food. Deer will not choose to bed in spots where they do not have access to high quality browse. They must be on their feet several times during the day and they will only choose to do so if they have good cover and do not have to move far to browse. My 43 acres held very few deer in daytime 4 years ago when I bought it. Now it is teaming with deer all day long as shown in this video.
To experience this on your property please purchase my book, “Extreme Deer Habitat” Which is available HERE.
