Do deer move more at night?

Deer actually move at fairly regular intervals day or night. They may be slightly more active at night, especially during hunting seasons, but are not truly nocturnal so do not as a rule move more at night than during the day. An adult deer will remain in close proximity to food and water, moving only when they feel threatened or when seeking better grazing or watering opportunities, or when seeking a mate when in season. Fawns and yearlings remain in close proximity to their mothers so move when they do.
