Deer Hunters, Morning or Evening?

[cahaba]

I really prefer 10 a.m. to 2 p.m Its really all according to the moon phase if I am on limited time. Otherwise its from daylight until dark.I voted morning. I dont like having to track a deer in the dark. Its usually not cold enough to leave them plus the cyotes.

Love hunting in the morning and that's also when I see the most deer activity. The deer woods are beautiful when the sun starts to rise! BUT, I hate to get up early!!  It's a mental battle in the morning to crawl out of a nice warm bed to go sit in a treestand. The good part is I have two sons waiting for me so it gets me up. After my feet hit the floor I'm fine.

I chose mornings because I am a morning person and I have seen and shot more deer in the morning to late mornings.  The only negative is that it can get cold and you don't seem to warm up as fast as the sun can rise.

I have always preferred evenings. I have always taken the approach of hunting food sources and perhaps I have convinced myself that in the evenings deer should be hungry and moving to food, in the morning they are full and moving away from food. I could hunt bedding areas but I try to stay away from bedding areas unless I am pursueing a particular buck and it is getting later in the season.

Mornings for sure.  I love the anticipation that comes with the rising sun.  The only thing that limits your moring hunt is your decision to get down.  In the evening the setting sun is beautiful to watch, but I always feel a sense of melancholy as it gets dark and the hunt is over.

My morning productivity has been many times that of my evening hunts.  I think that has to do with the areas that I have hunted though.

My answere to the question is .... Yep

This is closer than I thought it would be.

I prefer morning hunts, with the anticipation that comes with a rising sun.  However, I've probably killed more deer in the evenings.

I see more bucks in the mornings but life being what it is I hunt more in the evenings because of work commitments.

I'm a morning hunter...

But, It really doesn't matter much. I don't go into the woods when it's dark,period!!!

I stillhunt my way into my stand,and I stillhunt my way out. I won't go in the woods untill it's light enough to see where I'm walking,and I leave in plenty of time to get out before dark.

It's worked pretty good for me over the last 35 years...

I like both, I have killed more bucks in the am but more deer in the pm.
