depends on the time of year. I only have one really good morning stand which is saved strictly for the rut. All my other stands I end up bustin deer trying to get to them early. It also works out that I have more time to hunt in the afternoons so that is my vote.

anytime after 8:30 in the morning. I never seem to come across the caliber of deer at first light for some reason. I too like hunting all day from late October through mid November. Most activity is from 9:45-1:00

I like hunting in the afternoon . BUT any time of day is good because deer just dont move a certan time of day in my opinion . Ive seen more deer 15 minuts before dark then anytime .

Absolutely love the mornings, but all my big deer have been taken in the evening. So, it's kinda of a toss up. There's nothing like hearing deer walking around and not being able to tell if it's a doe or a monster buck, then the sun comes up. There's nothing better.

I would have to say mornings are awesome next to the evenings. I've taken more deer in the morning.

Depending upon the circumstances and time of season, I like evenings and mid day. If there is a full moon, mid day is the cat's whiskers.....I've also seen more bucks during mid day.......Not that I've actually SHOT one however....

I see more deer in the mornings usually but I usually see bigger bucks in the evening.

Well for me it depends on which stand Im hunting, some are better morning spots and some evening. Me and my buddy have a saying we use which is The Power Hour. Thats the hour once sun comes up and the last hour in the evening. We hunt routes between the bedding areas to the feeding areas... But then again theres the hour in the afternoon between 1 and 2 thats been effective as well...
