Default 0-2 in Southern WV

Opening day was Saturday. Did two morning hunts Sat morning and this morning with no deer movement. Temp has been in the mid 30s each morning. Tomorrow is supposed to warm up greatly into the low to mid 60s. Here's my question. Should I change it up and try an afternoon hunt of like 10am-2pm? I have to work from 3-midnight tomorrow so i have to be out of the woods by 2.

Will the increase in air temp spur some movement? What would you experienced guys do? Continue to hunt hard at daylight or try an afternoon?

p.s. for both hunts i put a 50lb bag of corn out the night before and it was gone by daylight. Mast is so bad here they are hitting the feed really hard.

I hunt one of the four bow-only counties in southern WV.

Mingo is seeing a lot of activity. So is Logan. According to my friends and family. But this was after that rain that came thru. Always a good time to hunt from Oct 15th on.

I had two roomates from mullins at WV.
