Trail cam users, question for all of you.

Are any of you getting much for deer action during shooting hours on your cameras?

I am just curious because I am getting almost zero action on cameras during what would be considered legal shooting times.

In fact in the past 3+ weeks, I have 4 pics total out of 5 cameras(200+ pics total) where the deer were captured moving during legal shooting hours.

Granted I am not covering every square inch of property, but the percentage of daylight to nighttime photos is extremely low overall.

Just curious what others are seeing. Are some of you getting pics during the day?

I gotta believe the rut will push some daytime activity, but I have yet to see it myself.

I'm finding about the same. I was getting good action at all times of the day a couple weeks ago but now most of the pics are from 10:30PM on. I did catch a smaller 8 point on my food plot at 11:30AM last week. I've had 3 different bucks cruising through the area so its hard to pattern them this time of year but most have been after hours.

My cameras have been producing pretty well during daylight, but I havent checked them in the last week or so. Also, I have been participating in the Duluth hunt, and I can say for sure that the deer have not been moving much since last thursday. Have seen a lot of deer on the roads (at night) the last 4 -5 days, and absolutely nothing while we are in the woods hunting. Considering that we were seeing at least 2-3 deer everyday, I would say something has caused them to be a bit more nocturnal the last few days... Maybe this lousy weather?
