In archery season around 8 am is hot, but I've seen them from 1st light to 11:30. In rifle season, deer can show up at any time from any direction.

When the feeder goes off.. . .
Nah, about 15 min after first light and 30 minutes before sundown. Sneaky little devils. Early in the season, at least in my spot where they are lightly hunted, the bucks move in bachelor groups. When the rut hits, its a free for all, but the 1st 3 weeks of November, it is not uncommon to see 5-6 bucks together without does. I have some fun video of a while back. Last year, they didn't really do that, oddly enough, but later there were plenty of deer around. The one I posted the pick of, the other one I got, the 3rd I almost took when the big one stepped away(he was almost as big) and another that I put a friend onto(little 8, wish he wouldn't have shot it) and a few others. The little six that lived under my tree stand all of December after he found out I was out of tags. I'll stick him this year.

We start seeing them from 8:00 am to about 11:00 am. After that they usually don't move for the day unless we start flushing them out of the bush.

RE: How long does it take in your area to start seeing deer?
It depends on where I'm hunting. On the farm I usually see deer right from the git go. Last year on opening day of bow season I shot a doe that dressed out at 115 at 0655 in the morning. There were 6 others with her. I got down and took care of her and got back in my stand at 0830 and sat and waited for a nice buck to complete the day. I sat there until 1200 and saw deer about every 20 - 30 min. I got back in the stand at 1530 and started to see deer at 1600 up until dark.
Hunting public land I usually don't start seeing deer until about 0730 - 0800 up until about 1100. Then again from about 1630 until dark
