More deer out at night

[hunting_101]

I do hunt yet I feed the deer the apples off my trees in my yard they are like pets. The crazy question I have is during the day they are nowhere to be found but around 6:30-700 pm. They come to my yard to see what I put out for them. One even comes to my door if nothing is out there. There has to be about ten of them hanging out in the yard they eat my peaches every year like clock work. Does anyone have an answer.

You do realize it is illegal to feed.

Not a good idea to post admissions of illegal activity.

I have apple trees in my yard i don't actually buy them food I just throw them out further in the yard so they don't eat my hostas. I don't put out corn or anything like that. It's on the ground in my driveway.

Still could get ticketed for it. Although unlikely.

I would have to laugh if I got a ticket for throwing apples out of my yard!

So back to the question why don't they come out during the day. I will put up the picture I took last night. I can walk right up to them and they don't even run. Why do the deer during the day take off with the slightest sign of human contact. I think these deer are sent by the dec to see if anyone's poaching. Lol.

Exact same scenario in my area with the big orchards. Out at dusk, feed during the night and back to bedding or secure areas at pre-dawn. Probably the same for most agr crops that deer feed on! Security..!!
