Going out in the morning worth it?

BowMan051088 · 10-21-2010, 03:25 PM

I get off work at 6 AM and i work very close to one of my spots. I figure that if i get ready decently fast i can leave from work to my spot and get situated about 15 miunutes before it starts to get light out. Is is worth it to possibly spook deer and go for a sit or do i wait until tuesday when io have a day off? I was going to try rattling a little bit in the early hours to see what i can bring in too.

I'd say get home, get clean, get ready, and go kill a deer. You can't kill a deer at home! We've been getting several pictures on our trail cams at 9 and 10 in the morning, so being a little later and sitting longer may be the ticket. If you're worried about busting deer out of your stand location, pick another spot to sit and save the other for Tuesday. Even a low-percentage spot will give you a better chance at backstraps than your couch.

You get off a 6 and you wont have shooting light for another 40 min. GO! get in the stand. With the full moon a.m. hunts will be better than p.m. hunts for awhile

All depends on what time the deer are moving by your spot. If they're moving around 3-7am like they are by me, then probably doesn't pay. If they're moving a little later then you can probably take your time.

Where in WI you from anyways?

I have them on camera at all hours of the day....no real pattern yet. Just going go and try my luck. I live in green bay but i hunt on the Oneida Reservation right outside the city.

If they move all hours get ready then go out, no need to possibly spook em. Just stalk in to your stand, if you don't spook anything then sit, hopefully you'll see something, otherwise, there's always another day

I have had bucks walk in on my no more than 15 mins after getting in my stand. I actually prefer morning hunts and have killed the majority of my deer in the morning. So I say go for it.
