Deer activity is effected by a number of factors.
Their stomach is one of them. Deer feed and then they HAVE TO LAY DOWN TO CHEW CUD. So I belive they feed in the middle of the night in the full moon and then go to lay down early. After chewing and digesting through the early part of the day they are ready to go out to feed again by mid day so are active between 12:00 and 3:00. Then they go lay down again.
Hunters are most often out hunting sunup till 11:00 and then go for lunch and a snooze, 11:00 till 4:00 and then go hunt again.
The hunters see less deer activity when they are in the woods and the deer see less hunters when they are active.
In the full moon hunt all day. In the "peak" of the rut hunt all day.
