鹿的活动 因为周围的温度，月相，气候甚至气压等 有所不同。 更重要的是与其他鹿的社会关系；

雄鹿，多在黎明前后， 黄昏，月光之下，移动，寻配偶， 觅食物。

“You will find that deer typically bed down at midday. Studies have shown that they rarely if ever bed in the same exact spot twice; in order to possibly deter a predator from locking on their scent and lying in wait for an easy meal the next day. Deer never sleep for long periods of time. Rather, they dose, always trying to stay alert.

Although whitetails are social animals that are found in herds, the sexes stay largely divided. Outside the breeding season, a mature buck almost never stays with a "doe unit", or a group of does and fawns. Bucks travel alone or band together in bachelor's clubs for most of the year.

Whitetails communicate with vocalizations and scents. For example, a buck trailing a doe in the rut might utter the "tending grunt." She might bleat back. A buck rub-urinates in a scrape, peeing over his tarsal glands to lay down scent that might attract a doe or challenge another male. The deer still facinates and mystifies us enough to warrant further study.”
