RE: All day hunt strategy?
I typically set a stand for 3 hunts when doing all day hunts. Let's say I hunt it a morning and an afternoon and then again the next day til noon. If I haven't seen anything then I am moving, unless I am in one of those classic funnels that have unshakable confidence in. So, in that case I may get up and move during the middle of the day. I have to have a lot of confidence to continue setting a stand during that time of the year when I am not seeing deer. SO, if I am going to make a move then I am going to do it in the middle of the day so I can access the sign of where ever I decide to move to during daylight hours instead of doing it in the dark the following morning. If I am not on deer then I am walking until I find the a bunch of fresh sign which means (hopefully) a buch of does are using it and therefore bucks with be coming through there.
