All Day or Morning
 

Do you stay all day? or morning or evening? my dad and I are planning to stay all day any advices?

RE: All Day or Morning
 

This time of year? I'm not sitting all day..during the pre-rut run-up yeah I'll occasionally stay all day.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Ditto. In 2 years I've sat all day, twice.

this early in the season, with as hot as it is, i hunt in the morning and evening. midday is too hot and not much is moving.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I'll sit all day on occasion. Next Saturday is our opener and I'll stay all day unless I hit one early. I make sure I bring enough to eat and drink, a book to read, and I make sure I have a comfortable stand.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

This time of year? No way. I sit till 9:30 or 10 in the morning, then I'm back out by 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Now, if it's REAL hot, you may do yourself good by sitting at a waterhole in the early afternoon.....Say between 1 and 2...

But come November, I sit all day, every day. I'm off work this year from the 2nd to the 12th, I'll sit dark to dark, or BBD, whichever comes first.

i go for the morning then the afternoon around 5 or 6 but this year during the rut i plan all dayers

RE: All Day or Morning
 

but what if you get one of those really cool days, thats been happening here in Arkansas we get really cool days

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I do day or evening and not all day. I would stay all day, but in Texas, it gets too hot and it seems that the deer quit moving around once the heat pick up...at least this is what I have noticed where I hunt...

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Cool until this heat wave has come through, but it's already seeming cooler than usual for this time of year.

Still, unless I'm in a comfy box stand, I don't bother staying all day. I can't sit still for that long, and if I have to get up and move I figure I might as well do it at camp.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

now why do people say that you can get bigger buck at noon when its hotter than ? but they dont move since its hot right?

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Honestly...You'd be better off saving that all day energy for later in the season when the bucks are up and moving all day long instead of burning yourself out now.

Right now the window of opportunity during the heat of the day is real small IMO.

Swatting skeeters sucks too.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Well, I don't plan to be out all day this early in the season either, but ...... I wentout to my tree stand lastSaturday afternoon at 2 pm and came upondeer apparently feeding in the area. Its just anecdotal, but one never knows.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Early in the season here in Texas it is crazy hot. Though it has not been as bad this year. I tend to sit mornings and evenings until early to mid November when it gets in the 50s to 60s during the middle of the day.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

IVE NEVER set all day,but i will a few times this year,bow season starts here in indiana on oct,1 its always hotter than heck here until late oct sometimes even later,as a rule i hunt mornings until about 10 and from 3-4 inthe evening on

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I only sit all day during the chase phase of the rut, or if i have nothing better to do that perticular day!!!:D

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I STAYat my hunting spot all day. I SIT my stand all day sometimes in the pre-rut, and all day in full rut. Other than that, I'll get out of the stand in the morning around 9-11 am depending on the circumstances. I'll get in the stand in the afternoon anywhere from 3-5 pm depending on the circumstances and always get out 30 minutes after legal sundown.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Enjoy your morning and evening hunts now. Build up some stand endurance if you want to stay all day, but wait for the rut. It is tuff to stay all day. Good Luck

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I never stay up all day. Actually the only time I hunt in the middle of the afternoon depends on the lunar table. If it's a full moon, especially later in the season, I wont go out till 10 or 11 and then hunt til sundown. From my experience, where I hunt, I can't remember a morning hunt where I saw a deer from sun up til 9 in the morning. The lunar tables and the barometer also play a role in deer movement. Back to the subject, to early to hunt all day anyway...IMO.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

i don't usually sit all day unless it is peak of the chase phase and a full moon.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I belive the best time to stay all day is during the RUT..
I've let the air out of some good bucks, ( Miday) ist very hard to stay in one spot for that long.. Good luck;)

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I've sat all day on numerous occassions. I've learned that on my unpressured deer I don't see sightings from Noon to 3:00...so I don't hunt those times. I sneak out and back in so I'm there when I do see sightings.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

Other than the time periods around the rut, the only time I would advocate sitting all day would be on pressured public land where other hunters will serve as your drivers.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I very rarly sit all day,but i will sit longer if the deer are active.most times it is morning and evening though.Sometimes if I am not seeing deer during the morning or evening I will get to my stand around ten and hunt the midday,you really just never know when you might see a deer though.

RE: All Day or Morning
 

I pretty much just hunt mornings up until 11 or so and afternoons from 2 or 3 until dark. If it's hot and I'm not seeing deer I'll cash it in around 9 or 10. I may miss a deer by not hunting all day.... but at this point, I really don't care. I know somewhere in the year I'll collect some meat and have some fun. I hunt for the joy and fun of it all. Torture with a 14 hour vigil really doesn't make it fun for me. I'll collect my meat somewhere along the way. At least that's how it's happened the last 40 someting years.
