Why are deer so much more active at night?

Submitted by Web Master on October 28, 2010

A deer's eyes are positioned on the side of their head. This provides advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that deer are able to view 310 degrees. This wide view allows the deer to be completely aware of the surroundings, even when it is staring straight ahead.
The disadvantages are that deer cannot focus on one location with both eyes. If the deer were to look at one object with both eyes, it would have poor depth perception.

Scent control starts at home or the hunting lodge where you’re staying. We all know about the importance of showering using unscented soap and shampoo.
