my question is, are you talking about them hitting your food plots at night, or treestand locations
if your talking about food plots
I know what has helped me a LOT, and that was allowing lots of cover to be had in places they bed to where they enter food plots, and then I found having taller sections of food plots , helped shield them, and that seemed to add more comfort to deer in the day time, as they had faster ways to get into cover or hidden
and example, is when I do clover plots, I mix in randomly some corn seeds and broadcast them about the outer edges and even into the middle
same with soy beans, I been doing say 2 acre bean plots and will make a 20 yard wide ring of corn around them
NO one can see into them, but I can set up ground blinds inside them and MAN that has really help me to get deer in there in day time
keep a thick section of cover from plots to woods , and they will come eat way sooner than before
can do treestands at woods edges
or do a 5 yard ring between woods and main plots where they enter from the woods and make it thicker on rest of the sides
this works really well if you have any road traffic too, the corn shields things from peeping eye's or poachers, and then deer again feel safer, NOT sticking out like a sore thumb in a middle of a open food plot!
I again had added some random ears of corn to clover, brassicia, soy beans, you name it, it helps a lot for day time deer movement, they never really make any corn, but the cover seems to help a lot
won't help you this yr, but in the future maybe>?
hers a few pic's you woudn;t really know it but behind the corn is an island of beans, and then deer love being in there in day time, and at any point in time they have a fast exit into cover!
