I have seen alot of deer activity durring the mid day hours. Be it from other hunters pushing the deer or what. I "heard" a theory once that deer feed on 12 hour cycle. Maybe they dont come out in fields or food plots every 12 hours but they do have to eat. I havent seen anything to prove this theroy wrong. So if they are feeding at midnight .....then that would put them feeding again durring mid day.
The oldest buck I ve killed was @ 11:30 am. (6 1/2 year old 7 piont)
I heard something similar, except I read it's a 4 hour cycle. Which I think is accurate.I have watched deer that were bedded, get up at high noon and browseright in their immediate area for about 20 mins, then bed right back down in the same area. It was neat.
