I hunt when I have time. Before daylight savings it's easier to hunt evenings because of the late evenings with light. After the clock gets set back mornings offer more time in the stand.

As far as going and coming, I'm always kicking up deer. It can't be avoided. When I hunted my moms place i always sent deer scattering every morning in all directions. If I took someone new there they would be amazed at the herd going in all directions. It was so funny but unavoidable.
