Last year i killed two of my bucks in the evening and one in the morning. The two in the evening were September 17 and January 1, both times when the deer are very patternable to a food source.
The buck i killed in the morning was durring the rut, when anything can happen.
I think that because i do a ton of scouting and patterning is why i have better luck killing a buck at night. Also, id say a majorty of my stand sets are better evening spots (hunting fields, food sources)
And perhaps the fact that those deer were patternable. I have never seen a buck around here do the same thing twice, let alone every day. Perhaps it is pressure or an overabundance of food sources or whatever, but I would love to find a buck whose pattern seemed anything except completely random.
Well, I guess I could say that the mature bucks I huntare patternable in one way in the early season. They all move at night
