Editor's Note: Craig and Neil Dougherty take hundereds of thousands of trail camera photos on their properties in upstate New York each year. All fall they will be submitting their most recent photos, as well as photos from their contacts across the country, to Outdoor Life to help predict deer activity.

What a difference the weather makes. During the early part of this past week, temperatures remained cold. Cold temperatures force deer to burn calories and increase the rate of feeding during daylight hours. When the temperatures were cold, we picked up plenty of feeding behavior on our cameras during daylight hours.
