good and bad for both. mornings, sucks walking to your spot in the dark, cant see, cant tell if your spooking anything, shadows look like deer... evenings is cool because you can see where your going, if there is a deer 10 yards from you, you can be a littel more organized, however, if you shoot an animal close to dark, you have to search form it in the dark, if you shoot it in the morning, you have all day to find it.
