Default favorite time of day to hunt

I hunt primarily in the afternoons and usually only hunt mornings during the rut - this allows me to enter the woods quietly and also I have seen three times the deer in the afternoons

How bout you better luck in the afternoons or mornings

I always prefer mornings (but not during a full moon phase). I can be just as quiet in the dark as long as my stands/blinds are put in appropriate areas for easy entry.

I hunt when I can, but prefer mornings, as usually better hunting for me, and equally important, I love the start of a new day, watching the sun rise.

I think I have shot almost all of my deer in the morning , but that was gun season and way after the rut. So this year will be my first year with my bow during the rut... cant wait.

I love the morning hunts. With it being all quiet and slowing the forest wakes up. I have only shot one deer in the morning bowhunting but I am in the woods all the same.

I love the evening hunts. The woods filled with noise as you first get into the stand. The birds seem to turn off like a life switch. Then the deer start roaming.

I have killed all but one of my deer in the mornings, so my favorite time of the day to hunt is the morning, obviously. But I also like the morning better b/c it is usually cooler, I enjoy watching the sun come up, and if you have to track a deer, it is daylight. I hate tracking deer in the dark.
