The big deer are finding my cameras. I got a pic of the 8 a few days ago and now here is a nice looking 10. Only got about 2 weeks left bow season here, I wish I could get them to come out during the day. I have not gotten a pic of any deer in the daylight hours in close to a month.

You may be causing the problem yourself with the feeder. Deer tend to feed in the dark as a rule but often have to extend their feeding time into the daytime hours because the food is scarce and more time is needed to fill their belly. With a well stocked feeder they can gorge themselves within a short time period and they don't have to expose themselves in the daylight.

Of course there are other factors too, like hunting pressure.

Nice Buck!

SGT, you should consider using a feeder with a timer and change the times they come to the feeder. Seems like you have them trained to feed at night. Like Answerguy mentioned, if they can gorge themselves at night, you won't see them in daylight.

Make them come to Breakfast and not Supper.

Nice buck and I agree with the others about the feeding being the reason for not seeing them in the day light. I know in WI we are having lots of arguing about to feed or not to feed. I think if you wait until the season is over to START feeding you will have much better luck all season long. The deer will do fine until mid January without feed. JMO.

Thanks all for the advice, I put new corn out right after rifle season here (Nov 21), That feeder has had the same half bag of corn in it since then. I get a few pics of deer there, but they sure don't seem to be eating the corn much. They must have a good alt food source somewhere.
