I’m going to put my trail camera back out to see if they are still around.

Weird how I’ll see ten deer one day then nothing the next.
I’ve definitely seen more movement on overcast and cooler evenings.
I’m thinking they’re laying down on the cool ground on the hotter days then running all night.
There’s a nice cool/ shady spot near a natural spring on my back property where they like to bed down on hot days.
I’ve jumped them plenty of times back there mid day.
 
I usually have seen 10 deer by now. They have been cleaning out some woods behind me.. hopefully that didn’t push them away.
It could be their reaction to normal hunting pressure also. If your two kills were made there that can be a factor as well. A few sits in the same spot can make them wise very quickly.
 
moon is pretty bright even at half and yeah they dont like the heat either.They coming out every night under the street light.

Over the yrs I have found that they are usually on a 4 on 4 off pattern except during rut. Browsing 4hrs and bed for 4, if left undisturbed.
