Turns Out Deer Like Sleep In Too!
Righto fellas, got a bit of a yarn for you.
I’ve been running game cameras for over 5 years now — rain, fog, possums, rats, cats, dead batteries, wrong setting, theft, everything that goes with it, the usual. Finally decided to sit down and crunch the numbers on when the deer were actually showing up. This data consisted of red deer movements in various locations at various times of the year.
No moon phases, no weather charts, no fluff — just what hour they appeared on camera.
I figured it’d back up what we all know: dawn and dusk are the go. Get in early, sit tight or stalk slow, wait for movement. Standard bush playbook.
Turns out... maybe not.
Around 9am being the winner! a clear peak in feeding movement in my findings
shit I might have to start sleeping in!
