Is there any "rule of thumb", for when deer are active during the early season at night? I havent been able to find out much in my research about nighttime deer activity. I know that they are showing up 1/2 to 2 hours before sunset, but do they typically bed during the night as they do during the day? I guess my point is that I plan on showing up very early so assure that I get there before they do, but I do not want to get there too early and spook them at some other feeding time.
