Deer on my property are only moving at like 3:00 in the morning. Any ideas on how to get them to come out during daylight hours?

They are moving during the day....just not where your cams are set. You need to find that area.

Pick some areas to hinge-cut and hunt just downwind. They will move from bedding areas but not far. Hunting between hinge cut areas is effective as well.

If you are only feeding in deer season then try feeding year round. Spring / Summer plots and feeders. Also run cameras year round.

If you start screwing around in woods only in season or right before they get your arse patterned not the other way around.

Deer don’t like hunting pressure. They will stay in areas that people don’t go. Usually thick areas. You need areas on your property that are thick and you don’t go into.

There are many before you and will be many after that will ask the same question

There are ten types of rice bran, flavored corn, buck jams, doe piss, buck piss, shelves at sporting goods stores full and about 10 pages in cabelas magazines all promising to get you that buck but the only sure fire way to get him out in the daylight is a good smelling doe or






Walker hounds



Peepaw and them had it figured out.
Drink whiskey all night
Cook some breakfast
Let the hounds loose

You have to get in their bedding and get there early, before they do.

I killed one I had been after 3 years ago at the crack of dawn on the edge of his bedding area, he hung up in a green field about 10 minutes too late.

The field was 100 yards from the real thick stuff and I got up my tree an hour before day break.

I tricked his arse

In north LA there are still tons of acorns on the ground. Find the natural food source, find the bedding areas, and set up between them. They move during the day. They have to, because they eat 5x during a 24 hour period. If you have tons of natural browse, then they will bed close so they don’t have to move far to eat.

Like someone already pointed out, they don’t always move in front of your cameras even if you feed, but they are moving.

Deer consume on average 6% - 8% of their body weight daily in browse / forage. Find the bedding area, and major food source: honeysuckle, acorns, planted beans, rye grass, persimmons, pecans, etc... Hunt the corridor and travel areas as you will see trails. Deer move throughout the day due to food, weather, moon phase, breeding, social activity.

Just walk up on them when they are bedded down in their briar patch. They will jump up and sound like a herd of elephants running off. However, you won't be able to shoot them because you will be shaking like a dog shitting a peach seed and your pants will be full of crap.
