I've seen deer do a lot of things in the woods. Rubbing, scraping, peeing in scrapes, humping and fighting. But the funniest by far is when they are trying to pull little stem out on their old Timex with their hooves. It takes them hours and hours. Heck once they do get the stem out they still have to turn it.
A lot of the deer around here have switched to digital watches which they can adjust by pushing the little buttons. It's still difficult but easier than messing with those stems.



Digital watches rock if you don't have fingers

The more serious problem here is you shot at him twice at 350yds and missed.

The lack of thumbs have limited our local deer to touch screen smart phones that correct for time changes and time zones. They have all but given up on watches.

They stay current with the areas they are in,not only time but also regulations and some even know what type tag(s)you have with you,(scanners?). No doe permit?, one will pose seductively at point blank range. Antler point restrictions,here comes the parade! Just no legal shooters. Its high tech. I kinda miss the old days when the nice bucks simply waited till you leave your gun in the blind and walk a few yards with t.p. in your hand........

Yep...hate when that happens! Here today, gone tomorrow as the saying goes. You won't see that sucker during day light hours again until we turn the clocks ahead in the spring.

Why the hell wouldnt this be a serious question? Last year after daylight savings I didnt see hardly any deer. Why wouldnt that lead me to believe the time change has no affect on the deer at all? Last year I also never changed the clocks on my cameras and they were still active at the same time regardless of it getting darker an hour earlier and daylight an hour sooner. They never came out any earlier or later. On my farm it seems most of the deer are nocturnal and I hardly ever see any in the morning and see most of my deer at night. So last year when it got darker earlier I just never saw anything. I shot my last deer of the season last year around Halloween.
