Default Bell Curve...

The most important lesson I have learned when being in the woods is the early bird gets the worm. Scientific research has discovered something that most hunters already knew. Deer do not move very much if at all during the midday, except during RUT. So if your a bow hunter get out there at least one hour before you are allowed to shoot anything stay quiet and still the less movement you make during twilight the point that deer are most aware of their surroundings the more opportunities you will have at getting what you want. Bell Curve has been discovered deer move more during the 30 minutes before and the 30 minutes after most hunting is done in the morning and late afternoon usually during bow season. So from my research and experience which is not much you really only have a one hour sweet spot during an entire day during bow season to shoot a deer. So long story short get out there early be still and keep your eyes open. you may just have the granddaddy of the woods strolling up on your back door pretty soon.
