I have a question about mid-day hunts (or 10-2 etc ). I have a couple areas that I hunt. One I believe the deer just bed in the thicker vegetation along the ridgeline. There are some dedicated bedding areas that are private. The deer generally browse the ridgeline which is public land. There is another area I hunt however that is about 900 acres. There are a few really good spots to hunt and several choke points made by fields and bodies of water. On the southwest side of the land are crop fields(private)The deer move from these and travel north to their bedding areas(private)The patterns are pretty deliberate. In the mornings the wind has to be SSW because of the travel direction and then generally NNW in the evenings. My question is: What am I hunting at 10-2? The SSW or NNW? On "normal" days deer have pretty much make it to the bedding areas by 10-11 (latest) and generally come down off the edge around 4-after dark. Sometimes earlier. With this type of pattern how would you hunt this midday? Am I making sense?
