Default RE: Morning or Evening hunt???

I like to hunt both evenings and mornings, but prefer to harvest an animal in the evening. Tracking and finding the animal is a lot harder after dark but once you find the game. You have all night to take care of the meat. On elk it takes me several hours to break it down and get it hung in a tree up and away from coyotes. During the day bugs and heat become a problem. On elk you take care of it where it lies, unlike deer you can drag into the shade of a tree.
So evening hunts by far would be my pick
