let me try help !
Let me try and help here. at no time of the year does my personal planet, which I like to call earth. does its rotation slow down one hour on 4th of november. and then again speed up one hour on the 11th of march. so to summarize the 4th of november isn't a 23 hour day, and march 11th isn't a 25 hour day.
Hope this helps.

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.
They patterned you so they changed their time to be out and about...The key to seeing deer all season is to be able to keep from spooking them while hunting...

I'll try to explain it easily here. The sunrise sunset time does not change. At all, other than the days getting a little shorter. The only thing that changes is our clock. So instead of saying "it's six o clock." we now say "It's five o clock." That is all that changes. The actual daylight does not change. Because deer do not have clocks, there is no way they could know about our time change. If you stopped seeing deer it was for some other reason. Us changing our clock has no effect on the deer movement. Hope that cleared it up.
