So it begins.....arrrgggg

The big boys are already going nocturnal here in Alabama, pulled my cams today so I could put them on my land in TN this weekend. I had over 200 pics in a little over a week and the bucks that I would classify as above average have already went nocturnal. Got plenty of small bucks still coming in though. Off to find the natural food sources now. That is all.

I feel your pain, just hunt close to te bed area.

Mine are not even nocturnal, they are flat out gone

The deer that were showing up on my cam shifted AUG 19th mainly to a nightime pattern. These Recent rains and cold front on its way should get them more active- I hope.

The mature bucks in my area are always nocturnal, year-round.

How can you tell from a few pictures that the deer have gone nocturnal? I rarely see nice bucks on my farm in the daytime early in bow season. Now once the rut starts it is different. I think it is too early to make the determination.

Come look at about 1500 of my pics and you'll understand.......

My deer moved to your place over the off season
