Are you bow hunting or gun hunting? Because during gun week, deer are as unpredictable as humans, and can be seen at any time of day, or not seen at all. As I said in the other thread, though, weather and time of week have an impact on this.

There's a lot more hunters in the woods during gun week, and any time one of them get's impatient and decides to take a walk, or has to pee, or heads in for lunch, they stir the woods a bit, and tend to get things moving. Also, a lot of hunters will put on drives during mid day, and neighboring lands can benefit from those as well. Once a deer gets kicked up, they go for a long way. I've even seen deer kick each other up, having almost a domino effect, or, better yet, like pool balls scattering on a pool table after the break.

Also, when a deer is kicked up, generally, they'll run till they feel they're out of danger, then, when they stop, they won't just lay up, but they'll try to regather, or wander and look for a place to bed down. I've seen deer get kicked up and come high tailing into my area, then disapear over a hill or around a bend from me. More than an hour later they worked their way around to me.
