Default Are undisturbed bucks predominently nocturnal or not?

I assume that bucks will somewhat move freely and rather comfortabley during the day time when not disturbed/frightened, but go more nocturnal if wary/disturbed. Sound about right, or not?

My thought would be that they are not primarily nocturnal if undisturbed, but become more nocturnal if wary. Any thoughts?

It's hard to make an answer since deer react as individuals to a given stimulus , some go nocturnal at the first whiff of human , others will graze right beside you while you're laying there asleep and snoring like a chainsaw . If pressured it's a safe bet that they will either avoid the area for awhile or go nocturnal , act accordingly .
