Strange. Everyone seems to have luck in the evening but where I hunt, i rarely (i cant remember at all) any time I've seen deer in the afternoon. I have mostly nights free so far and no luck but I've seen quite a few deer between 8-11 so it must be the area. I usually hunt public large areas of woods and usuall on ridges near thick areas. Now when winter comes and its gets alot colder and the food dwindles( the whole mountain's full of acorns), I could see things changing.
