after weeks of no movement on the trail cams, theres finally action at my site. its been taking 25-30pics a night since the 8th of Novmeber. but as usual the action starts at around 630pm then runs into the early AM. I have been using apples since the start, and when i started getting pics of both does and bucks hitting the bait i put up some doe pee and made up a scrap and sprayed some buck pee(nov 11th) to try and keep those bucks there. Today(Nov 12) i picked up some more apples before heading out and decided to grab 25lb bag of cracked corn also. My question for you fine folk is:

Is there anything I can do to get these animals out during daylight hours? or is that something that is totally up to mother nature?

Feeder with a timer?

I've thought to try that during pre-season but hunting on public crown land i didn't want to chance someone stealing my gear. my cameras were only dirt cheap so they wont be missed if stolen.

thanks for all the input guys! season is over Dec 3, hope to be posting pics of the success by then!
 
You don't get the deer "out"... you go "in." Deer know that there is plenty of human activity/scent around the feeders, so they delay until they feel protected by the cover of darkness. Back track the deer toward the bedding area... set-up as close to the bedding area as possible without disturbing the deer... use portable stands and switch locations every night... you will connect. The idea is to pattern the deer, not let them pattern you... sounds like they are doing their homework.
