Hunting the afternoon produces my bigger deer for me..I usually get out around noon. I have some thick areas and a stream that run down a draw at my spot. When its hot it seems the deer hang close to the shade and do like to get a sip of water during the afternoon before their late afternoon doe chase or afternoon/dark browsing. Biggest thing when its hot is to be sure of your wind. We tend to sweat alot more so make sure you have cover scents(but not to strong i usually rub pines needles on myself..alot of pines in Georgia..hehe) I have a couple of different stands.My ladder stands seems to work well. only up about 12 foot and your scent gets lost alot in the pines...it always pays off to scoutfor deer early when bow hunting
