Specifically is there a way to get them to come to the feeder more during the day than night? No evening feeds? Any suggestions

No evening feeds discourages nocturnal movement, yes. Other than that just keep the pressure low on your property.

if feeder is throwing out corn or whatever, make sure it is gone by dark. If there is still corn on the ground by the time it gets dark, then lower the time it throws or set it off earlier. Best I can come up with. Good luck

Kinda what I was thinking. There has been no shooting pressure on the lease. Well I have shot once. The rest of it nothing. We have walked it quite a bit, but you kinda have to if you aren't seeing them. Other guys have yet to see a deer. All the signs and cameras are showing about 99% of the movement is a night...for everything. I am wondering if the owners hammered this place for years before they leased it. I may just not run my feeder in the evening. It is getting kinda late in the season though so it may not matter.

I can't even influence my dogs and my wife is out of the question, so I've not even tried to sway any deer.

Low spin at night and a hard early spin in am to try and keep them out.

Mix in some nicotine with your corn, that will keep them coming back!

yeah i saw that. Not really my price range. thanks though

Go to a free choice gravity feeder or only throw in the AM. I've got a feeder that is free choice gravity and I never get pics at night. I don't know if they only browse the ground at night or what but it works.

#1 thing people don't do

Maybe you could make a gravity feeder with some sort of manual lid on the opening that the deer will be eating from. Before you get to your stand for your first hunt of the day, remove or open the manual lid. Leave it uncovered all day and cover it back up when you're done with your evening hunt. Just a suggestion.

Good suggestions. May just use a spotlight. Thanks

feed earlier in the evening.

You may have turned them nocturnal by all of the walking.

You know I thought about that, but it has been like that since we got on the place. Originally I thought no big deal it's the summer. I just find it strange that all deer and hogs are moving at night. I shot a buck earlier in the season (about second week) He was chasin the 4 does that normally I get on camera at night. That happened to be the one time I have seen'em moving during the daytime. It was real early. Since then nothing..on any part of the lease. I am sure the walking is not helping the situation, but what are you gonna do.

i bet if you ask congress to introduce a tax on night feeding, then we can finally stop the madness of nocturnal deer.

lets get the goverment involved in this, they are sure to fix it. they fix everything else they touch.

And include a "day-option" for those nocturnal deer that have trouble complying with the tax...

I can't believe this thread wound up getting political.....

I don't hunt by the moon phase but I know it has some influence on the best hunting and fishing times of day. http://www.huntingnet.com/staticpages/staticpage_detail.aspx?id=144
