[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5798350, member: 20583"] For sure not. Nor do I believe it's pressure driven, or at least not entirely. My place doesn't get hunted but a few days per season and I'm not even there often enough to pressure the deer. Habitat work ends in August and starts again in January. During that time the only human presence is for hunting. So I'm fairly confident the patterns are natural. And since they annually repeat almost without fail and regardless of human presence, I'm completely convinced the pattern is natural. The problem is figuring out what the driving force is and if there's anything I can do habitat wise to alter it in my favor. I've not been able to yet but the habitat enhancements have for sure increased the numbers and quality of the deer I see. Timeline patterns seem static but I can influence how good the hunt is during that time and so far haven't seen the cap. Gets better and better over time. I just know from history that my best odds are last week of October into first week of November. If I miss that window daylight movement becomes increasingly unpredictable. [/QUOTE]
