Michigan's mature buck to breeding doe ratios being so out of whack is another reason our mature bucks move less during daylight hours, even during the rut. Matriarch does in heavily hunted areas will seek out one of the, if there are any, dominant mature bucks (usually a specific one) to breed her, they definitely know where they live and frequent, so the mature bucks do not have to travel as much. The chase phase still occurs, but it is in a much more confined area during daylight and that area obviously expands during the security of darkness. I have witnessed this type of doe activity on many occassions.
