    I am hunting a club in Baker County Fl and according to game cameras and local hunters the deer have seem to have became mostly nocturnal. I am used to this happening around late november but have never seen this happen so early in the season before. I was wondering what could to to make my next trip sucessful. I have a doe tag and i will be thankful to shoot either buck or doe. Any tips on how to make my next trip successful?

    Chances are the deer are not 100% nocturnal. They'll probably move at least a little bit during the day.

    If they're bedded somewhere on the property, find a bedding area and if you can manage it - sit all day. That means sunrise to sunset without getting down. Get in well before any shooting light and leave well after you can't shoot. You can't hunt at night but you sure can hunt every hour of daylight to maximize your chance of seeing one during the day.

    Thats my two cents.
