Not knowing a lot about your place, I’d still say pressure is the number one factor to why you’re not seeing deer during the day. Could be other things too, but that’s always been the biggest factor for me and my place. I try to stay out of it unless I just have to go in to take care of something or make a pop in hunt.
When I hunt it, I keep as low as an impact as possible and do not encroach into the woods. Mainly hunt the roads. For instance I have four food plots and two of those four were sat recently for the first time in 4yrs. That’s just because of having my nephew and wife up for opening weekend. Other than putting nitrogen and topping their feeders off, I won’t see those plots again until after season is over.
Sounds excessive and boring but the place holds a LOT of deer and you see bucks every sit. Quality hunts over quantity is my preference. Human pressure is the biggest suppressor on deer movement. Hunting stands with bad winds, hunting stands too much, checking cameras and dumping bags of corn every week, etc etc etc. Sometimes the best thing to do is... Stay out of the woods.

I think you can go in the woods every day if you want. You just can't hunt them 4 months of the year.

Yours is probably the 5,836th thread on here about this. The first time I asked was number 3,246.
