Eat/Sleep: Deer travel from their bedding area to their feeding area in the last few minutes of daylight, and travel from their feeding area to their bedding area in the first feww minutes of daylight. This generally gives you 2 thirty minute windows in the morning and in the afternoon when they are MOST active. This doesn't mean deer won't be wondering around during the middle of the day. In fact, I've seen as many deer in the middle of the day as any other time.
Mating: If it's mating season, then the deer sexes will usely follow each other. This means that if you want that big buck and all you're seeing right now is 4 or 5 does, then don't take them quite yet, wait a little while ans see who's following them. This works vice versa if your hunting for doe and all you see is a little two pointer. By the way doe meat does taste better.
Running Away: This requires more than 1 person, and the more you have, the better. One hunter can be sitting/standing in a stand/blind, while the other does a loop out and walks toward them from several directions. This works in that the deer are running away from the hunter who's walking while the other sitting hunter waits for the deer to pop up in front of him. The deer only get concerned about one hunter at a time, so when they're running away from the koving hunter, they'll move toward the stationary one. They might even run back towards the moving hunting when they get shot at by the stationary hunter.
God Bless and Happy Hunting
