changes right now are because of changing food sources.
deer are just like people in that every one of them is an individual. Some are more likely to move in daylight, some just lay up. Some nocount(&&&&&&&^^%%%$^^% s just go nocturnal and stay that way.
I turned a yearling buck loose on a friends place several years ago. He had a nice big red ear tag to keep him from getting shot. Was no need for the tag as no one ever saw the buck in daylight, and only rarely at night. I know he lived at least six years, due to night time pics. He used to lay on the sofa and watch TV with my wife when he was younger. No need or reason for him to go nocturnal, he just did.
