RE: Midday hunting stands
I hunt private, unpressured land and rarely see deer between 9Am and 3PM. But I don't get to hunt enough so when I go I stay out all day. Last year I switched tactics and used a stand in a ravine overlooking a stream. I saw several groups of doe moving around mid-day to get water, but no large bucks. I will definitely use the same strategy again next year ....hunt the food plots morning and evening and overlooking the water hole in the mid-day. Good luck!
