I Don't Understand Deer??

[jirvin]

On my way home yesterday I saw a small Buck in velvet feeding close to the road and it was about 4:15pm and about 95 degrees.He was standing right out in the sun along with another deer that I could not see it's head.This morning the temp started in the mid 70's and shade on the same area I saw the deer in yesterday and no deer out at 7:00am.I can't figure out why they are feeding out in this heat and not out in the cooler mornings.

This is an area inside town that I see deer in quite often.It is in a cut out between hills to create the road that ends up in the downtown district.

Could be trying to keep away from the shade and the biting insects??

they have been coming out around here just around 6:30 or so in the evenings, our deer must be smarter lol. i know i'd be hanging in the shade preferably by some water ifin i was a deer.

I've seen some out around noon and at 5:30p.m. the yellow biting flies seem to be bad this year around this parts..........
