Any of you trail camera gurus see anything to back up my theory on this?

On the MWW video Bill said the bucks naturally move later. But as I stated is it that they are just moving at the same time still each day?

Thanx!!


I agree with this.... daylight wanes and the bucks continue moving at same time.

although pressure can back them up an hour or two more before arriving at crop fields

Once the pressure cracks... I have watched bucks stand up in their beds out in the marsh and just stand there until 10 min prior to dark. So pressure comes into play as well.

All bucks are killable. Its just some deer are more killable during different parts of the season.believe your trailcams they aren't lieing to you. Some deer show up at certain times every year on cams and dissapear the same time evry year. So I want to maximize my time hunting deer when I believe I can kill them .obviously anything can happen but I don't ignore the proof my trailcams give me on patterns/movement
