Hunting Mid day Late season?

[frassettor]

Myself and a fellow Tradganger will be going out this sat and we were talking about heading out from 10-2pm. We will be hunting an area that doesnt have anymore standing food. I was thinking about hunting the bedding areas in thick cover. Has anyone of you been sucessful hunting Mid day during the late season, or if there are any ideas you may have I would love to hear them.

I myself havent done much hunting mid day, a lot of the reading ive done says alot abotu mid day hunting late season specially whne tems really drop they also talk about hunting thick cover sounds like you are on track, my success has been evenings on a food source late season preferably grain if around,  where you guys hunting i start a trip sunday down to neilsville come back for xmass then back to huntin till the season closses good luck!

I see alot of deer movement in the middle of the day here in Va. Especially after rifle season and if its really cold. But I am hunting mountain land not around fields and farms. I had a spike walk by me Saturday at 12:OO. Hunt near their bedding area, they seem to get up and move around some in warmest part of the day.

I have shot a few deer during the mid day hours in and or close to bedding areas. I plan to hunt one of those areas during mid day this coming weekend. The other great thing as far as hunting during those hours during the late season is that it is going to be warmer than hunting early or late, plus you still have plenty of time b4 dark to follow up on any critter you shoot.

East & southeast exposed ridgesides on very cold mornings.These hillsides will have the best browse because of the sunlight exposer .If dry and noisey,drag a stick along the way to your stands,so you don't sound like a human.Stillhunt the last 100 or so yards on your approach.W/ leaves gone,it helps big time to brush in your stands.
GOOD LUCK

Richard:  Where you are in central Wisconsin, deer will not be moving much mid-day, particularly just a week after the latest gun season.  I've had good luck doing one-person pushes to my brother and vice-versa this time of year.  However, this coming weekend marks just about a month since the rut in central/northern Wisconsin.  Usually, there are a few does that don't get bred during the main rut that come into heat a month later.  If one of those happen to be up and about, she could lead a whole passel of bucks around mid-day.  Good luck.
