All deer are influenced by weather, moon, food sources, hormonal changes, hunting pressure, ect....

Yes, deer will feed at night, heck, during rifle season here in PA, deer become mostly nocturnal (in their major feeding), but, they do move during the day. Deer have to move around during the day. Sometimes, they may just get up, walk a few feet and bed down, but, they may also walk around browsing then bed back down.

My best friend is doing a research paper for college about deer movement and what affects it. I may get some of the info that he has found and post it on here. It is very interesting to read some of the info that he has found about deer movement. He was trying to find out why deer sometimes move for no reason at all, like why deer will move at 1:30 in the afternoon and other " akward" times.

Most of the time, deer move simply because of an outside element, such as hunting pressure, weather changes, ect...... but, there are times that there are no reasons (known reasons).
