How do you like your hunt?

[Shawn Leonard]

Our deer season is around 75 days. I hunt most if not all of them. Some days only for 45 minutes after work. Depending on the time of season and such, I will hunt mornings til ten and than afternoons from 2 til dark. During the rut I like to hunt from mid morning til dark as I feel going in early may disturb the does going into bedding and mess up what the bucks will do when they come scent checking the doe bedding areas. I do sit all day a few days a year. All during the rut. Shawn

I can rarely sit all day because I get fidgety. I like to get in my stand well before sunrise and sit until 10 or 11. Then in the afternoon I usually head out around 3 and sit until after sundown.

Hey T W
I Usually spend the whole day in the field also, sometimes a little nap at mid day sometimes a hike to another place but usually hunt til dark.

You going west to the coast range or east to the cascades or further east?

Good luck.

John, I hunt just on the other side of Lebanon, OR. See blacktails all the time so, yet to go anywhere else. I hunt alone and don't know to many people so, not familiar with areas on the coast or the Cascades. Good luck to you also!

This year, I'm trying out my new tree seat so, moving after the morning session won't be a problem and will allow me to try other areas for the evening part. during the mid portion of the day, I may spot and stalk while looking for a place to plant for the evening.

If I'm whitetail hunting near home, its usually morning-evening except during the peak of rut.  
If I go out of state or put together an out of the "norm" hunt, I go all day every day.

I am a morning and then afternoon hunter not by choice.  Either my hunting partner (my son) wants to head back home or my wife has things that she wants me to do around the house.  Good luck to all.

I like any and all kinds of hunts. However, I get to hunt more evenings.

[Sam McMichael]

Mornings are best for me. I like to get on the stand about an hour before daylight so the woods can settle down by the time I can see to shoot. Usually I stay till about 10:00 or sometimes less in the extreme heat of early season. Later in the season as it cools down, I stay longer, sometimes till midday. I don't hunt much in the afternoons as I usually have to work on the honey-do list.

[JamesV]

I only hunt afternoons for the most part. I can hunt really hard for 3 hours then I get bored or too stiff to enjoy the tree anymore.

Our deer season last 4-5 months depending on the zone. I usually dont start until mid october and its usually mornings and evenings. Late oct-mid november im in the woods all day.  November- january i usually hit the woods around 10 till dark.
Ive killed alot of deer from 11:00am to 2:00pm.
Good luck on your first, you will never forget it.
