[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5797146, member: 17"] In my "time of day" buck movement research, I've only been entering data for the months of November and December. I've avoided using October data because my property is not hunted in October. I suspected October data (when deer are not being hunted) would be very different than November data (when deer ARE being hunted). I assumed October - with no hunting pressure - would produce far more daylight movement than I what we see once hunters start hitting the woods and shooting deer. But curiosity has gotten the best of me, and I've started entering this year's October data. And I'm being humbled by how wrong my assumptions were. In fact, unhunted October data appears to see far less daylight movement, and certainly less midday movement, than hunted November. Looks like the influence of the peak rut in November overpowers even the influence of hunting pressure. So far, I've gotten about 2/3rds of the month's data entered, and despite the fact several days had over 30 different buck photo-sets, not a single picture of a buck 2 1/2 or older from 10 AM to 3 PM in October.
