I've hunted from dawn to dusk many times but I don't have the patience to sit on a stand and do it. I'm good for 2 maybe 3 hrs in a stand and then I start to fidget. So I hit the ground and still hunt in the middle of the day and return to the stand in late afternoon. Looking back over the years, I've killed most my game still hunting. That's probably because I tend to be more focused when I hunt that way. My mind tends to wander when I have to sit still in one place for hours on end.
