Deer sighting summary so far

I was curious, so I just looked over the trail camera pictures over the last couple weeks and kept track of the time that deer arrived. Below is a chart showing the number of deer (y-axis) that arrived during each hour (x-axis) over the last two weeks.
Although I have only been keeping track for the last two weeks, during daylight hours, the hot times are between 6 and 9 AM and between 5 and 6 PM. The middle of day between 11 and 3 PM is also decent as well. For evening hunts, it appears that the best time to get to the stand will be around 4 PM.

Notes: Small bucks are anything between a spike and a 7 point. Large bucks are anything 8+ points. Hopefully I'll be adding some of those to the chart soon.
