Great question Scott. Evening hunts i havent had near as much sucess as morning hunts. With that being said I still like to hunt acorns in the early season and the hot trees are easy to find. The biggest thing i do wrong is set up too close to the actual hotspot and get to many eyes and ears and noses around before the bigger bucks come by. I think a proper setup will work if i back off a bit and figure out what direction the bucks are coming from. As for morning hunts i have had great success. I like to setup between the hotspot and the bedding area about 45 mins to an hour before first light. Now it is the opposite. The does come later and setting up early closer to the bedding gives that extra time i need to see the deer moving when the sun comes up. Oh and on the morning hunts i place as much emphasis on entry route as i actually do hunting.
