Hunting Mid-Day
Reading on here I see a lot of guys hunt and take a lot of deer mid-day. My question is where do you hunt in respect to feeding areas and bedding areas. On the land I hunt (public BTW), deer move from the fields up to the ridges. The ridges (bedding area) are private property which is separated by a paved road and the fields are also private property. However the area in between is public land. There is a large peninsula separated by a creek that sometimes fills when heavy rains come but most of the time is dry. Anyway, I have evening spots that sit as close to the ridge as possible just across the road. Those also are good morning stands. I have spots I also will just sit in the morning. My question is this: Where do you hunt deer for mid-day? In my area I don't feel I would see them. Deer won't come off the ridge til the evening and usually after a point in the morning they have all come from the fields. You MIGHT catch a couple that have bedded somewhere on the peninsula. Other then that I can't get close to the bedding areas to catch anything moving.
