Clearing a field hedgerow is far different than cutting shooting lanes near the bucks bedroom or daytime travel corridors. Deer are used to activity around field, tractors, other equipment and all that. Sure they made tracks there, but who made them and when. More than likely after dark if it's a big boy. Girls and fawns go for easy pickings in the super market. At this time of year(and they do know when hunting season comes because of all the upswing in activity in their domain) deer often feed and wander fields during the day, especially if there's a little breeze blowing. The wind and open ground keeps the bugs down.
