Morning Hunts
I've been reading some bowhunting articles on Pederson's - a few of their pros say to avoid morning hunts in the early season over a feeding area. Their reasoning is odds are you will only scare bucks out walking in the dark - this will make a mature buck change his pattern or avoid the feeding area. The guy suggests hunting these areas only in afternoon when deer are more predictable.- My addiction will make it hard to avoid hunting opening morning, but I don't wanna screw up the deer.... Anyone else run into this problem?

RE: Morning Hunts
My house is where the deer feed at night and then slowly filter back up the mountain eating acorns as they go. I haven't been able to get around in front of them no matter how far down the road, up the mountain, or early I get up. I always bump them. I've learned to either sleep in and go up around 8 AM and get the bucks cruising through for a mid morning snack or go hunt somewhere else in the morning.

RE: Morning Hunts
mornings = travel route between food to bed
evenings = travel route between bed to food
rut = all day in funnels between doe bedding areas and food
I VERY rarely actually set up on the food source. All it takes is a split second wind change and every deer in that field knows they are being hunted.
