It depends on when the deer are going to come through your area. during the rut hunting can be good all day. You'll have to go out at different times to see when the most activity takes place. I know some people that only hunt between 1000 -n- 1500hrs. This has worked good for them,but if they tried that where I hunt they wouldn't see a thing. Most of my good hunting takes place closer to the evening except during rut.
