[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5129012, member: 17"] Ha! I've always said we see very little midday movement of older bucks, simply because we never got pictures of older bucks moving between 10 AM and 2 PM. However, that really changed last year, and I have no idea why. We've been hunting mornings and evenings forever, and deer never adjusted their movement patterns to midday (although they CERTAINLY adjust to moving at night to avoid us). As hunters, we're generally out of the woods by 10 AM. This last season, I got a [U]disturbing[/U] number of pictures/videos of older to mature bucks moving between 10:30 and 11:30 AM, just after we had left our stands. Again, I don't know why. Deer suddenly adjusting to our hunting pressure early and late? Possible, but why did it take 30 years for that to happen? Most likely due to the near total acorn failure we experienced last year. Deer had to move more and farther to find food. But even if this move to more midday movement is permanent, would we adjust our hunting times? Nope. At this point in our hunting careers, hunting is far more about enjoying the experience rather than what we kill. And for me at least, anything longer than a 3 1/2 hour sit is true torture, and not enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
