do deer typically move once a day or twice?
on an average everyday normal day, will the same deer move, to eat/walk around twice a day?, or do most deer only do that once a day?...
the reason i ask is im getting most of the deer on the trail cam are at 12 o clock at night.
those deer you see eating as the sun comes up, will they come back and eat as its going down, or are those diffrent deer usally?

Deer have 4 chambers in their stomach, and they need to eat quite frequently to keep them up. I've heard, though I don't know for sure, that a deer must eat about every 4-5 hours.

From my expierence deer will get up and browse about ever 4 hr like MOBO mentioned. If I don't see them at sun up I usually start seeing deer about 9 to 10. Then again late afternoon 2 to 3 Then ofcourse the magic hour before dark.

I wonder if how often they get up to eat has somethign to do with what they are eating (acorns vs. grassvs. alfalfa vs. corn, etc.). Seems to me like eating acorns would "stick to your ribs" more than, say grass. I also think our chances of seeing deer have a lot to do with how far the deer have to move to get their food.

MOUNTAIN HUNTER, you would think that, but it doesn't really work like that. Like I mentioned, deer, like cows, have 4 chambers in their stomachs, all holding food digested at different levels. "Stick to your ribs" food really doesn't work that way....they must eat about every 4 hours to keep those chambers full.
