I know alot of year I see deer moving later in the mornings. I've seen some dandy bucks moving as late as 11:30 or so. Just make sure you dress warm for the late season hunts and stay in as long as you can. The more time you put in the better your chances are.

You will find that many deer will move and feed in the middle of the day this time of year because it is warmer. See what times your trail camera pic's are and hunt them then. But keep the food comming.

I'll be doing the same thing for the next few weekends.....dumping corn piles everywhere. Hopefully I will fill my tag! I have yet to kill a deer with my brand new bow. Good luck to everyone that is still out there and stay warm!

Around my place, my regulars have grouped back up and seem to have settled back into their weekly routines. Our deer movement here is usually pre-dawn and minutes before dusk. They head to the fields for dinner just before dark. The other day, 10 minutes before sunset, I walked about 100yrds behind the house along the field hedge and stood there for a couple of minutes. Four of my antlerless regulars showed up right on schedule to feed off the corn fields. All four came within bow range, in-fact they came as close as 15yrds of me (Breezy, I was downwind of them). Oh, I forgot to mention that I grabbed my camo-jacket and boots only. Not dressed for hunting per say. I haven&#8217;t seen my 12pt though. Don&#8217;t know if he made it through the season. He&#8217;s nocturnal. He used to show up a couple of times a week and hang around with the ladies for about an hour or so then moves on.
So I am reporting him missing, here's my post;

:!:!:!*Big Buck Missing! * He's a typical 6x6 and I would estimate he&#8217;s a 160 or 170 class; 3 ½ years old; big bodied (200lbs+) and he comes from 1,850 acres of pristine deer habitat. If anybody has seen him, tell him the ladies miss him. Lol&#8230;
