Deer are moving more at night, Why?

[bigbucks1985]

Have been scouting a spot with cams and have been getting bucks during the day but over the last week only a few past by in the morning the rest were at night. I set up a blind on the 13th of aug. and blended it in good was wondering if anyone has any advice?

[sebek556]

moon phase has alot to do with it

[bigbucks1985]

Would they move more night because of the new blind in the area? I have been scouting the spot since June and they have consistently come through at day light hours. Is there anything i could do between now and opening day besides hope they come by during shotting hours?

deer move more at night then in the day especially when it is hot

weather. was alot cooler in june and july.

Yes i understand that, but since i put my blind up they have changed their patterns slightly is this a sign of too much human scent in the area or will they get more used to the blind come early season?

full moon and heat..... plus they read the regs and are gearing up for hunting season

Ussually when you first put a blind out they appear finicky to it, but they will get used to it. Most of the time. The deer aren't moving at night because of your blind

If youre hunting BT's or MD than as soon as they strip their velvet they tend to be a lot more nocturnal.

Is there anything i could do to better my chances of seeing one of the whitetail bucks during daylight between now and the 1st,(adding trace salt or other food) or should i just be confident my hard work will pay off and hopefully they will come by in shooting hours?

Just heard a thing on the outdoor channel that said that the hardest time to predict deer movement is within 7 days of a full moon. Does tis give you your answer 

[bigbucks1985]

Ok well hopefully thats some of the reason. Is it 7 days before and after the full moon?

last one was the 13th and the next one is the 12

alot of things mentioned above are all issues not to include the testosterone levels are rising as the antlers are hardening..then they become night movers, unless they are 3 1/2 yr old and younger bucks..u can get them consistently patterned in Sept and even in Oct if not bothered to much
