WHAT TIMES R WE SEEING DEER MOVE THE MOST WITH THIS COLD WEATHER????

try going over to valley forge park and do a survey for us all .

I went Dove hunting Sat morning and was sitting on a high line ss from Bombay Hook waiting for the birds to move and 8 deer crossed in front of us at 10 of 7 AM. They were not 50 yards away in an open field.. Where were they six weeks ago?Across from BH

very funny....i lived there and hunted the edges of the park///...i know, u r jealous

i havent been seeing alot.
although i havent hunted i usually do see them when driving around in the area.

I was born there, We used to race go carts In the mall parking lot before they built It up.1965.... then I moved to trappe... My brother In law hunts the fringes.. he shot a big ten In evensburg bow hunter...theres a bunch of deer at the malvern rt29 area. Ill be down there in three weeks for a show in fort washington I always go thur the park I can get within 20 feet off then, Ithink Ill look for some sheds.

Not sure if you can pin point a time. Last Sat. saw an 8 pointer going to get a drink of water at approx 9am.
The last night, I saw 8 to 12 in a field munching away at 5:15pm.
If you can tell me EXACTLY when to be in my stand.....ILL BE THERE...

Seems to me Deer sorta conserve energy in cold lousy weather.After corn and beans are cut and gone,sitings in open tend to diminish.
IMO much depends on available food source,
human and dog(domestic or rabbit) presence.If some avail clover left,some standing corn,few beans left in open flds - Afternoon sitings are my best time.My best luck is from 3-5pm.All 5 of my deer this season have been taken at these hours.If some good thick woods with cedar,pine,bull brush cover(bedding),I have couple good stands in woods,produces sitings in Jan season.

Guess it all depends what kind of area your in.The more remote to humans and dogs = more deer sitings.

AJ52 where have you been? I was at a meeting in Dover last week and talking to you wifes boss, Clyde said he didnt even go deer hunting in Del this year. Went to PA with his brother.. Too cold to go this next seasonnext week.

AJ52, where do you live in Sussex?? I mainly hunt the Nanticoke Wildlife area, only because I dont have any farms to hunt.
Ive noticed the deer are hanging in thicker areas such as heavy laurels and pine thickets. Problem is getting into them without being detected (yeah right). Ive got a couple good locations picked out for the upcoming shotgun and muzzleloader seasons. Im still trying to fill my tags.
