Midweek Deer Hunting
Many deer hunting trips are limited to one day a week. This is generally on a Saturday. This means that a majority of pressure on deer will also be on this day.
Since deer are able to pattern hunters, they will often change their activity once pressured. This often results in becoming more nocturnal. This will obviously reduce deer sightings.
Especially if hunting deer on public or shared land, a hunter may increase his chances of success by deer hunting during the middle of the week. Midweek hunts often result in less pressured deer movement.
When the woods are filled with hunters, the odds of alarming deer dramatically increases. This is simple reasoning. More hunters provide the possibilities of more human odors being placed in the woods.
This also means more foot traffic. Deer will detect both these changes as danger. They simply will avoid such areas altogether or not move until after dark.
After a few days, the deer may return to a limited day light movement activity. This will allow a midweek hunter to take advantage of such movement.
So if a hunter is able to schedule his deer hunting around days that most others are not, he may have a better chance at seeing more deer.
