[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5258908, member: 1409"] One unappreciated thing effecting mid-day buck movements is mid-day wind vs. early morning & late evening lack of wind. You will [I]SEE[/I] more bucks visit scrapes at night, during early mornings, late evenings, in part because of the lack of wind. Most hunter/managers position the bulk of their fall cams over scrapes? But, during mid-day, we typically have stronger wind velocities, and the bucks checking scrapes become more likely to scent check those scrapes from a greater distance, often beyond the trigger range of our cams, and often from behind where we had the cam pointed! Also regarding the wind, I believe rutting bucks are more likely to venture off their regularly beaten paths under the cover of that wind. As much as I sometimes hate the noisy leaves of the young beech trees, their beginning to "rattle" in the wind (typically @ mid-to-late mornings) seems to trigger wandering buck movements. Note how much rattling beech leaves can sound just like walking deer, often causing a hunter not to "hear" the deer walking nearby, too! [/QUOTE]
