I wouldnt say deer are most killed during those times here. From experience Id say from daylight till 9 would be when huge majority are taken. Not sure if thats because of hunter habitat or what. But I know that the time Id wanna be on stand if it had to be limited to a particular few hour period of the day.
Doesnt necessarily take hunter movement to move deer, although hunters going to stand predaylight do move deer, Shifting winds and ever changing scent streams move deer. Sitting hunters movements being caught move deer. Hunters shooting at deer move deer.
Another big thing, after the first hours of the first morning, around here its hard to go out without seeing a drive put on at some time. Most places around here, you cannot sit any of the higher participation days... First day, second day, saturdays.. Without seeing a drive or hearing several going on throughout the day in the distance and or on the radios. Not uncommon to see areas of public or even heavily used nonposted private land being driven multiple times in a day.
