What does it tell me when.....
What does it mean when I get 80-90% of my trailcam pictures during daylight hours? It's not in one specific spot either. It's all of my cameras on my 80 acres. The neighbor says he noticed the same thing so it’s not a fluke. Also, it's not like first light and last light. It's all throughout the day. Thoughts?

It was spring also. Like March/April. I just started hunting this property this year so can't say from past years.

On pressured land, I'm close to the bedding. On unpressured land, it's unpressured.

Re: What does it tell me when.....
You didn't say if your pictures are mostly does or a mix? I would say you have a good population of deer on your property for one. With a lager population of deer you have deer putting deer at ease. In other words the deer are smelling other deer and thus feel safer to move around. I have mentioned this on other posts when you get a conglomerate of deer smell in and around your cameras you will get more pictures of deer. You take Sam he sets his camera out and checks it 3 days later he has human scent around his camera. He would get more pictures if the area had more deer scent around it.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: What does it tell me when.....
I would think that the deer are active during the day because there aren't many hunters or people for that matter putting scent on the ground and just being in the deers' habitat right now and in spring. When they know theyre being hunted or notice more intrusion, they should go back to being the hard to hunt pressured deer we all know and love. IMO

Re: What does it tell me when.....
I agree with both Dor and Stan... Summer deer are active during the day more, and on propertys with larger deer populations I see more daylight activity.

Maybe alot of things (with sharp teeth) or humans bumping the deer in the daytime.
Doe with fawn also move more in the daytime.

Re: What does it tell me when.....
Tells me your land has everything the deer need including enough security cover to move about freely. As fall approaches and the deer feel the pressure of human intrusion this will likely change. How much it changes is based on how secure they feel.

Re: What does it tell me when.....
I suspect your mature buck captures on cam will become more nocturnal as the summer wanes into fall. I have 95% daytime photos of mature bucks right now, but that certainly won't be the case come opening day.

Re: What does it tell me when.....
One great thing it verifies is tje bucks are bedding on your land and not your neighbors.

Re: What does it tell me when.....
THE mature bucks are a different animal once those horns harden up You are obviously doing something right though because they aren't moving far from bedding this time of year. If you have one on a pattern you are in good shape for the opener
