Just curious as to when everyone preferes to hunt.
I understand there are different circumstances for certain stands and areas.But is it morning or evening(late afternoon)

Personally I like to hunt in the morning.This way I have the choice to stay all day if desired.There is also something about getting in a stand 1 hour before light and watching the sun come up over the horizon.All the animals in the woods comes to life,deer are moving,squirrels are chirping and so on.I think it is so peacful,I wish it would just stay like that.

I'm with you like to start in the morning but sometimes cause of this and that just can't get early an have to go on the afternoon.

Anytime in the woods I love but I prefer evening before the clocks get turned back. It gives me more time in the woods. Then the mornings after the clocks get turned back because I can get more time in the woods before going to work.

if i had to pick just one i would say evening.
all though, i`m a stalker so usuallyi`m out there all day.
i have a bunch of areas to hunt so i won`t burnthem out.
i can give each land a5 to 7 day air out time if need be.

Although Jason I have my best luck during the evening hunt's ,I prefer to get up at 5:00 am and get into my stand ,I feel as you do watching the day break and listening to the bush come alive is a great way to starting the day off .

Dark to Dark

I prefer mornings, but I take what I can get usually.

I like evenings until the rut kicks in. I hunt food sources, which is a predictable area for evening patterns, the deer will always enter the field just before dark. As soon as the Rut nears I like mornings and afternoons, I see more Rutting activity in the mornings, and the afternoons everyone around here goes in, and that big buck just might walk right past my stand!

I seem to have most of my good fortune in the early morning...........however I like the evenings better because the anticipation builds and builds the longer I am in my stand.......in the evenings I look forward to every coming minute as it gets closer and closer to "showtime"........in the mornings every minute that goes by takes me farther away from primetime.

Anytime in the woods is fine with me.

Personally I love nothing more then an early morning hunt in the snow.........the woods shine like a diamond when the sun cracks over the hills and begins to warm your face.

That is my favorite time of the year.

I'm with nubo on this, I prefer morning but have better luck in the evening
