RE: Question about Nocturnal deer
Yep, pressure and heat will keep them nocternal. From my expeirence, the mature deer will only stop their nocternal activity when the rut is on, or when resources push them to move during the day. Best bucks will be seen during the rut, or late winter when they have to move more to find resources. If the deer have what they need and can get it at night, they will not move much during the day.
