Am I nuts here or what....how can anybody vote for shoot w/o seeing? You have to go with see and shoot, right?

RE: Do you see more deer in the AM or PM.
I picked PM/Shoot.
But it's probably an even ratio if I calculated the amount of hours in each stand wether it's AM or PM. Meaning - I don't hunt as much in the AM cuz I don't like to walk into my "far distant" stands for a 1/2 hour and take an eye out or spook deer along the way. So I try to get a few AM stands specifically for a 10 minute walk down a clearer path and that's only if I can get my lazy arse up!:) |

Strutntom:
That's the best post I've read on this topic. ;) Like someone else stated, I think that most hunters don't see as many deer in the mornings because their set up isn't a morning set up. They use the same tatics as they do for an evening stand and the two simply aren't the same. I used the be the same way until I stumbledupon the correct morning set up. Now I rather hunt in the mornings than evenings anyday, for two reasons. 1) Itend to see more deer. 2) Ifyou do shoot a deeryou have ALL day to worry about tracking it. I hate tracking adeer at night. The only "down" sideI've seen about morning hunting is that its some times hard to stop the deer for a shot because theyhave one thing on their mind and thats getting back to their beds. |

RE: Do you see more deer in the AM or PM.
I voted for PM shoot/see! I have killed many more deer on evening hunts than I have in the morning. And for me,the morning and evening hunts are pretty close to the same number, meaning I don't overwhelmingly hunt the evenings.
If I could change one thing about my approach to hunting, it would be to get into my stand at least one half hour before daybreak. Because right now, I don't always do that. I clearly know the advantages of doing that, but I still fail a lot of times to do it! Case in point: One morning about two years ago, I did happen to start walking to the stand earlier than normal. It was dark!! Just as soon as I reached the platform of my stand and reached for the rope to pull my bow up, I heard what sounded like a couple of deer walking in the leaves just below me! I couldn't believe it........I had just climbed the tree and reached the platform, and they were walking in to me, totally unaware and unspooked at what I might be! I picked up my binoc's and looked just below my tree and there were two younger bucks just feeding on acorns. It was still dark enough that I could barely even make out their bodies without the binoc's and they were just below me. I just really couldn't believe that they didn't spook as I meandered through the forest stepping on leaves and twigs. I guess they couldn't make me out, so they just didn't get spooked! I learned a lot that morning! |

Wasn't sure how to vote on this. I see and probably shoot more deer in the afternoon, but nearly all of the bucks are in the morning. Maybe I need to change tactics for one or the other.

ORIGINAL: Bowtech 360 ORIGINAL: Hoytail Hunter ORIGINAL: Bowtech 360 Always see deer riding the four wheeler at night in the summer. For me I see more deer in the PM (60/40) but I've taken 75% of them in the AM. Ok, here is how it goes, your riding along and then you see multiple deer running away, the deer arnt afraid of the noise here but when they see its a four wheeler they run away, dont ever get closer then 30 yards but I see them run away. Pick which one of those you are buddy! ;) |
