I always will hunt all day during the rut and see a ton of mature bucks between 11-2pm and. Last year when i sat everyday all day, I saw deer moving all day long. Also you have to think about your property, do you have food or not? gotta think where the does will be and take that into consideration. Just make sure you hunt the stand that fits the wind... I hear so many people go to a stand because its the BEST stand. But youu have to get veryyyy lucky to shoot a mature buck.
