[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5270817, member: 17"] As I started on the 2021 data, I got the "brilliant" idea of recording all the data based on the age of the buck. To make matters simple, I just broke down the ages into the three main categories for behavior (as biologists see them). So I recorded the data for yearling bucks, middle-aged bucks (2 1/2 and 3 1/2 year-olds), and mature bucks (4 1/2+ year-olds). My first time-of-day analysis was to break down visits by time for yearling bucks versus all older bucks. This showed a marked preference for yearling bucks visiting scrapes more in daylight than older bucks. In addition, older bucks peak visiting scrapes between midnight and 2 AM, while yearlings peak in the first hour of daylight (6 AM to 7 AM). The peak of visits just after dark was slightly different as well with yearlings peaking 5-6 PM and older bucks 6-7 PM. [/QUOTE]
