Default RE: Best time of day to hunt??

I like the morning best -- just as a personal like/dislike sort of thing. I am a morning person and feel very energetic then. It is cool to be out in the woods in the dark, going to my ambush spot, and then resting peacefully in the dark, maybe listening to some owls talk to each other. Additionally, when I take a deer in the morning I can take my time gutting my deer and getting it out of the woods. If I kill a deer at the end of the day, for example 15 minutes after sundown (where I hunt legal shooting light extends to 30 minutes after sundown), when I gut the deer I am working with diminishing light and I know I will be hauling the deer out of the woods in the dark. Additionally, I also know I have to go check the deer in before I can go home and get a hot meal.
