I live in NE Oklahoma and I have an 10 point and a really good 8 point on my property. But on my trail cams they are only coming out at night. How do I get the big bucks to come out during hunting hours?

Logan,

Deer typically are active during the night because the temperatures are warm or they’ve been alerted during the daytime and associate daytime activity with danger.  There’s a cold front forecast to pass over northeastern Oklahoma this weekend which should result in mature deer being more active during daylight hours. If the bucks haven’t been alerted to much I suspect they’ll be more active during daylight once the temperatures drop!

Enjoy creation,
