How do you like your hunt?

[Wannabe1]

To be all day long or, just early morning and then evenings? When I go out, I like to spend the entire day afield. Next Saturday is opening day for the early season here in Oregon and I plan to be out before the sun is up and coming home after it has set. Looking to get that first ever so, every minute in their environment hopefully will improve my chances.

Good luck to all no matter how you hunt!

I like all day when it's cold. Before 10 am and after 4 pm when it's hot. That's less than a month away for Maryland.

All day hunts are the most awesome, but I seldom get to do that.

[hardtimes]

I am usally a morning or an evening here and there. I do not get to hunt as much as I would like to.

When your time in the field is limited, do you guys stand hunt or spot and stalk?

[JEFF B]

I used to hunt every day of the season. I'd sit all day when the rut kicked in.   There were days in the early part of the season where I'd sit a stand in the am, then do some drives on othrr ptoperty in the afternoon, then sit again for the evening.

I like to get into the tree well before sunrise then go back out in the afternoon and sit till dark.  But usually I will take the week of veterns day in november off and live in the tree sun up till sun down.

good luck brother!!!!!!

I can't hardly sit in a stand all day. Most times I hunt from an hour before daylight to about 10 or 11 in the morning, then take a lunch break, then hunt again the last 3 or 4 hours of the afternoon. I'm not really patient (slow) enough to stalk hunt but I do on occasion. Mostly stand (either tree stand or ground blind) for me.

Good luck on your "First Ever". The poem after that one should be epic!!!!

I like all day and even overnights when I can get time. Other wise I hunt from sun up to about 2 or 3.

I don't have the land to hunt to stalk other than to and from stands so stand hunt morning and evening.  I hunt to about 11 most days if near any bedding area.  Less time if far from bedding and close to food.  Early season most days you will see nothing unless you are right in bedding area cover and catch some mid day movement.  I hunt all day pre-rut and rut.  

If I hunted areas where water was a big draw in the heat of the day, or I could glass and stalk beaded animals, I would do things different.

All day hunts are impossible for me in a stand, my back is too sore after a few hours for it to be enjoyable.  If I'm going to hunt all day from one spot it has to be a ground blind.

Hunting all day is great but I usually make it just a morning or evening, sometimes both with lunch back at the truck or home in between.

I like to get up the tree and settled in just before I can see good. Then hunt till I get ready to walk back home. Most of the time that's about 10:00am to 12:30pm when I've thought of something else I'd rather be doing.

I used to always go back in the afternoons, but very seldom do anymore..getting too old to make two walks way back in and don't have enough confidence in the close spots to put my heart into it. Never liked sitting all day. When I used to hunt places too far back in to come back out and go back in I'd take a lunch and small jungle hammock (rolls up the size of a baseball..still got it) and take a little nap during the middle of the day after I ate.

Like my eggs-over easy! Afternoons for me. Hap

[tradarcher816]

I love spending the entire day in the field, but with the streak of bad luck I've had.... I just hope my hunt is successful lol

[Outwest]

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.

All day here. When going after coyotes I can use a half a tank of gas going to different stands, I only spend 10 -20 minutes in a stand. Deer hunting in the sierras you need to hunt for them sitting and waiting just does not work you never know where they are at. Sun up till sun set. Coyotes its till I can't see.

That depends on what the family is cooking back at home.

Mornings and evenings when lunch is something GREAT.  All day when food is average or subpar.  If it's too hot, then only mornings.
