N. WI Deer Nocturnal, Every One of Them!
I live up in N. WI and in the last few weeks I have set some bait to try and get a late season archery deer. Every day, the deer come in from all directions, leaving many tracks and consume every bit of corn and frozen apples. Three different spots and the same thing: No deer until after dark. In two places I set up a plot cam and the 3rd I hunted one night. Not a deer. And the night I hunted, not a deer even close when I packed up at near dark. I am thinking that this is some sort of "selection" result. All the non-nocturnal deer have been harvested and only the nocturnal types remain. In addition, there are far fewer deer seen on the roads & fields this year.
