During the rut I hunt from dark til dark. I started doing this after the 2001 season because of what happened during the rut that year. It was Nov 14th and I hunted the morning seeing 7 different bucks cruising/chasing does. I foolishly got down to go back to the house and eat. I started watching a hunting DVD at about 11:45. For some reason I looked at the clock and said "why am I sitting here instaed of hunting" so I boogied back and got up in my stand by 12:15. As I was pulling my bow up and fastening the release on my wrist, a doe ran by my stand like she was being chased. Then over the hill pops the big boy in hot pursuit. I maneaged to get him stopped at 30 yards by yelling at the top of my lungs "HEEEEEY" he locked up tight and I put an arrow through him. He scored 131 and has been my biggest deer ever taken at about 12:25 pm. So from now on for that magical 5-6 days in Nov I hunt all day.
