Guys, it's not that the bucks aren't around in the mornings......But the way I see it, it's odds........ODDS are, that time of year, bucks are in the bed early in the morning, especially around here. It's still pretty warm the first part of October around here....
The more I'm in the woods, ODDS are I'm gonna bump/spook the buck into the next county. The less I'm in the woods early the better. That's not to say I won't hunt ANY mornings though.....I do still have a doe to whack ya know....
Besides.......I think someone told me once to do the EXACT opposite of what I have been doing.......that means hunting more evenings than mornings......
