The Crepuscular Conundrum: Why Deer Rarely Hikes on Daytime

Why is it rare to come across any deer on a daytime hike? It’s not because they’re hiding; they’re crepuscular animals, meaning they’re most active during the twilight hours of the day. However, even with their keen senses, they can still get caught off guard. A good example is this unsuspecting white-tailed fawn.
