    For the past couple of months I have been seeing many deer showing up to my trail cameras and treestand but over the past 2 weeks the deer have gone completely nocturnal. The rut is just starting and the deer should be moving during the day. Any suggestions?

    Try to find where the does are bedding during the day and setup downwind of the bedding. Bucks will cruise the edges of doe bedding areas to scent check.

    Also, if you can pinpoint multiple bedding areas - try to find a funnel in between and setup there.
