Deer feeding cam hours
There is no dinner bell. The whitetail deer live stream stays up for the whole season, and the herd writes the schedule. A visit can be a minute at noon or most of an hour after dark. Feeding happens throughout the day. The busier windows are usually the edges of the day, when deer are already moving between cover and the trough.
Times below are Central Time, with Eastern and Pacific beside them. They are typical dawn and dusk marks for the season, and they drift a little from the start of a month to the end. The cam itself does not turn off at dusk. It keeps running.
Treats on the whitetail deer live stream
Oats are always fed by default. That is the meal under everything else, every day the season is open. When the treat menu is on screen, viewers can buy the herd a treat on demand. Apples, carrots, squash, and pumpkins sit on top of the oats. They do not replace them.
A treat is a purchase. Folks buy one through Buy Me a Coffee or a YouTube Super Chat. If nobody has bought one, the trough is still full of oats, and the visit goes on.
A month at the trough
November
Opening month. The winter coat is on, nights are long, and the trough starts to matter. Deer are active at the edges of the day and still show up after dark.
Dawn around 7:30 a.m. CT, 8:30 a.m. ET, 5:30 a.m. PT. Dusk around 5:00 p.m. CT, 6:00 p.m. ET, 3:00 p.m. PT.
December
The shortest days. Deer spend more time in cover and come out to feed when the walk is worth it. Night visits are often the long ones, because the clearing is quiet.
Dawn around 8:00 a.m. CT, 9:00 a.m. ET, 6:00 a.m. PT. Dusk around 4:30 p.m. CT, 5:30 p.m. ET, 2:30 p.m. PT.
January
Deep winter. The ground is hard and the oats are a steady reason to cross the clearing. Dawn stays late. Dusk starts to creep later again by the end of the month.
Dawn around 8:00 a.m. CT, 9:00 a.m. ET, 6:00 a.m. PT. Dusk around 5:00 p.m. CT, 6:00 p.m. ET, 3:00 p.m. PT.
February
Still a lean month, with a little more light at both ends. The herd keeps the habit. A treat on the grain gets attention, then they go back to the oats.
Dawn around 7:15 a.m. CT, 8:15 a.m. ET, 5:15 a.m. PT. Dusk around 5:45 p.m. CT, 6:45 p.m. ET, 3:45 p.m. PT.
March
The close. Days lengthen quickly. The season ends March 31. After that the 24/7 picture rests until the next November.
Dawn around 6:45 a.m. CT, 7:45 a.m. ET, 4:45 a.m. PT. Dusk around 7:15 p.m. CT, 8:15 p.m. ET, 5:15 p.m. PT.
