Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? Umm im not sure you can, but what you might want to do, is find out where the deer your trying to hunt is coming from. So that way you can see him during the day,i dont know if that makes since.

bowhunt101 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? There is no way I know of to do that but you could setup in an area where you could get a shot while he is coming to and from bed....

VermontHunter Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? Once a deer has gone nocturnal,, they are pretty much untouchable.... The generally won't move untill they very early A.M.,, Unless another hunter drives him from his bedding area or a hot doe gets his attention....as J.B. has said. Good Luck,, maybe something will get his attention and give a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? Easy! Go sneaking threw his bedroom and kick him out of bed. Then shoot him. It may sound like I am joking but its the only way to get noc. bucks out in the open. Or better yet have someone else stomp threw and you be really on the escape route. Otherwise known as a drive...

buckee Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? That's when you have to rely on the Rut, some doe in heat scent, and good fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeviShot Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? Try a scent dripper that only works during the day.Do a deer drive with some friends.Last but not least rely on a hot doe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? We have an island woods, about 40 acres that we never step foot in. It is fairly thick so it provides some decent cover and it's surrounded by corn and alfalfa fields so deer really don't have to leave it. You'd be amazed at what not hunting in the woods does. We just hunt the perimeter in the fields and we have deer, even mature bucks - 4.5 years+, come out well before season closes. I know other people that do this to. They never step foot inside the woods, scout for the oldest, biggest buck, and shoot him opening day. They make it so easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? The deer here seem to be crepuscular right now I think we need to feed them some diurnal cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutter Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? Good on Chrud lol. You guys are going to laugh at me but here goes. Weve done this and had it work on bear so why not deer. Find a buck fresh buck turds from another area. put it in a ziplock (just like walkin the dog.) and place them around your stand . Your nocturnal buck may show to find out who this new interloper is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbuckmiddaugh Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? I've heard of that turd method. I haven't tried it yet, but i may do so just to see. Just don't suck on them! LOL I read this year ago and this may help. Go to another area (like finding turds) Bring a well clean bucket and shovel. Find a fresh scrape and dig it up and put it in your bucket. Then make yourself a mock/real scrape with the dirt. May even consider cutting down the licking branch and tieing it to the mock scrape tree It may help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOlMossyHorns Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? yeah, the day the season is over, he will come and let you have a good look at him in the middle of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossman Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Re: how to make deer un nocturnal? I don't think there is any way to make them un-nocturnal. The best thing to do is set up near is probable bedding area and sit in that stand all day long. Many times a nocturnal buck will get up in the middle of the day and move around. But he won't go far. He will stay close to his bedding area. Buy a book and go sit all day. be there when he makes a mistake and capitalize on it!!!!
