I believe this to be fact Schultzy. Like I said before, I've read and believe, deer eat/drink about every 4 hours, give or take. Rut or not.Like GMMAT said earlier, this often happens right near their bedding spots.I've seen this first hand. Again, in Alberta (virtually no pressure) I've seen deer out in the middle of vast fields feeding at noon time, and pretty much every other time of day, for that matter. Again, these are ideal conditions though!

during the rut, i sit all day, just dress comfortable, and take something to eat.
i actually see a lot of deer mid day, especially because thats when everyone else bumps them to you when going to take a nap, eat, etc.

when its not the peak or close to it of the rut though, i normally sit till 11 or noon, then head back out around 2-2:30

Never shot a deer midday but then again I've not hunted much at that time of day.

I have seen a couple ofnice bucks on a trailcam at midday but not very often, only 2 times that I can think of.

Great point, what he needs to learn, is how to speak for himself!

Now we are worried about implied profanity as if the youngsters in this forum have never heard the actual word that wasn't used? It is obvious that hunting season can't come soon enough for some of you if we are making a big deal out of MFers. Dang, I fell victim to using MFer[:@]

No real biggy.

What actually makes it wrong then? No improper words were used, you got your panties in a bunch over implied swearing. I'm sorry if you live in a prefect Utopia where there is nothing better to do than have a fit over implied usage of foul language but seriously, don't you have anything better to gripe about like Gas Prices or Rising Food Prices?

If you're going to quote me, use the whole quote!

I don't even want to get on the second part that was left out, hahaha. I do not shoot the first one that I see. I have a spot that has a lot of deer like the one in your avatar and bigger so we shoot nothing under a solid 8 point 3.5 year old or older there. I have invited another forum user to hunt the spot with me this year, I'll have some great photos posted as the season gets closer. Oh, and I'll watch the F-Bombs to

That was nothing more than a joke my friend.By the way, it's not hard to beat that avatar buck antler wise, but weight wise you'd be hard pressed to beat 300lbs, which he was. Check my profile.
