I also believe the bucks rest for a while in the morning after chasing and breeding all night. After the does go to bed, somewhere around 9 or 10, the bucks get up and cruise doe bedding areas looking for a hot doe.

That's my theory anyway. Take it or leave it. ;)
WELL IF I WERE A BUCK THATS WHERE IN WOULD WANT TO FIND THEM ...I BED [8D]

my biggest buck to date i shot at 11.00 in the morning...and my grandma who is still hunting, shot almostall her bucks between 11.00 and 1.00 oclock...so IMO thats the time to be out there specially during the this time of year.

I like your theory myself.We have taken bucks around 11am to 12pm.Don't usually have luck much later than that.It usually is the bucks that are moving.Atleast that's what I've noticed too rookie13815.

It's true. I have heard of more people taking big deer in that time period. I think some of it is due to pressure from other hunters moving around to get lunch or stretch their legs.

I started doing the dark-to-dark vigils a couple years ago. While I DID see deer in the middle of the day, I still saw the most activity in the early morning and late afternoon periods.

This year, it's been so dang warm here that the deer are only moving in the first or last 1/2 hour of daylight. I've sat from dark to after 1pm this week and saw nothing once it warmed up. If it would cool off, that would help, but the 10 day forecast show more of the same.

I believe it. I am going to start doing it more. This morining I decided to stay until midday and saw a NICE buck at 10:30. I usually would be discouraged by this time but I know better now.

hunt those hours......when others like you leave at 10 am or so you kick deer to others and you dont even know it.same for when you come back in the woods.if your already there other hunters jump them to you becausr your already set up.
