Default question about afternoon hunting...

hey fellas. havent been around in a while. Quick question of opinion: I have an exam tomarrow at 8:00, it will last until probably 930-10am. I hunt about 30 minutes away. I must be at work by 3:30 pm. basically, my question is do you think its worth it to leave after my test (get to hunting ground around 1030-11am, and then hunt until about 1:30-2pm and then go home and go to work? how successful have you guys been when coming in the woodsaround 11-noon and hunting for a few hours...do the deer move alot still? It just seems that people dont like hunting those middle few hours of the day, im jw. thanks alot, im sure theres alot of different opinions, so whats yours? thanks alot guys

It wouldn't hurt to try who knows you might be in the right place at the right time.
Can't fill your freezer or put meat on the table if you don't go out and give it a shot.

These are the times I hunt most of the season. I am a full time student/dad that is taking care of things while my wife is a Drill Instructor. So most of my hunting is from 8:30 am to about 2:30/3:00pm when I get to go. That is when I have seen all of the deer I have seen (not that it was alot, but saw deer almost everytime I went out so far) and killed a deer during these hours. So I would say yes- GO FOR IT!!!
