RE: Do you see more deer in the AM or PM.
I see - and shoot - more bucks in the AM, but see more total deer in the PM. Mostly a result of the way I hunt I think as I try to target out of the way bedding areas in the AM, outside of the rut - so I see less deer but more often the one I want.

It actually felt like a snake rolling under my boot before it hit my leg. I about loaded my Huggies on that one.[

RE: Do you see more deer in the AM or PM.
i try to get in a half an hour or more before light heck one day i fell asleep for 40 minutes and it was still dark when i woke up.
So i see more in the early hours of morning.
I think as already said some people are lazy get up late and end up in there stand to late in the day.
One day i got up late and spooked a nice deer 10 yards from my stand when i went in just after light.

I think its more laziness too T and don't want to get there ass out of bed. I've been guilty of it!
Either that or there to ckicken **** on walking in when its dark in the morning.[8D]
I believe a lot of hunters do not get into their stands early enough in the mornings and chose their entry routes wisely.
The poll should reflect this IMO

In the big woods I see more deer in the AM than PM. Farm country I see more in the PM. Hope this helps. During the rut I like to wait until about 8-9AM b4 I get to stand. That way I can sit during lunch....... see more bucks this way. But hey thats just me.

I'd have to say evening, But do to work, thats primarily when I get out.
The "experts" disagree and say Morning is best especially pre-rut.
So basically I say anytime you can get to the bush is the best time!

I see alot of deer in the morning in my area. Funny thing is I have never shot a deer in the morning ! I actually prefer the morning hunts over evening.
