It's almost like they have vanished. During the summer the movement must primarily be at night. I don't see deer in the fields feeding in the early morning and just before sunset, like I do in the fall and winter. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks ya'll very much.
One reason is that the does are still dropping fawns. I don't think they leave them for very long. Another thing could be the hot weather keeping them in the woods where it's cooler.
I can't tell you the last time I saw a deer here in SC. Of course its been 95+ for the last week or 2 as well.
The browse in the woods is young and tender and taste great. as the summer goes on it will get old and tuff. then they will realize where its tender where its getting cut. beside the roads,food plots and ect. and like said already the fawns are dropping.
Makes sense what ya'll are saying. In fact this morning, I saw the first fawn of the year with her mama. I didn' think about the tender browse in the timber either, but again that makes sense too.
Same here, on the edge of a field. I have noticed, just from cam information, that a lot of my deer are coming through between 6 and 8 in the morning. However, the traffic is greatly reduced. Basically the same reasons as above. Also though, most deer come into the fields to feed. Well right now there's hardcore farming going on, nothing to eat out there.
