How old is this buck and how can I encourage him to be active during daylight hours?

Question
How old is this buck? He only comes around during the night. Is there away to change his pattern?
Terry,
This buck’s neck merges with his chest well above his brisket and his chest and shoulders aren’t fully developed. I estimate this buck is one or two years old depending on the local habitat quality.
Deer move at night usually because they’ve been alerted during the day. There may be lots of hunting pressure in this area. You may try moving the camera and/or stand closer to the bedding area.
Enjoy creation,
