I've read that research shows deer will become increasing nocturnal if they are using feeders.
Are there an good theories to explain this behavior?

I agree with the vehicle activity but disagree with the Predatory reasoning .. Predators feed and hunt mostly at night therefore: that would make the deer non-nocturnal based on that theorybull0ne said:Feeders placed where they can be accessed by trucks,scent contamination from filling the feeder & an easy meal waiting on them are part of the reasons for nocturnal activity.

Oh.. ok... I understand now,,, I was thinking something else.. Sorrybull0ne said:I was refering to an easy meal for the deer......if they have to forage it takes much longer,they can ''top off the tank'' on the way to the bed in the morning if they're pressured.
