Default What Time is Most Productive

Hey all!

Just wondering what time of day do you see the most deer? Now I am looking for an hour time frame.I know that sunrise and sunset are great times, but for me, I love 9 am - 10 am the best.

10:00 AM to 2:00 PM are great times to be in a tree during the RUT.

Right now, I'm seeing more deer in the afternoons between 4pm and dark. The deer are returning to their beds pretty early around here and it's hard to get in their bedding area before them unless I'm willing to spend the night there!

Morning: 6:30 am, 8:00 am

Evening:3:00 pm, 4:30 pm

These are my most productive times. Also mornings vs evenings is about 50/50 for me.

It depends on the spot!

I have a spot where 10-11:00 AM is when the deer show up, and another morning spot when 8-9:00 is great.

In the evening I like the last hour, that seems to be the best IMO.

7-11am, but it also depends on the spot and how deep into the rut you are.
