It don't matter If It's all day sits, evening sits, morning sits- If you shouldn't be there you shouldn't be there for whatever reasons. That's just common sense.

As for midday hunting, I really like sitting by water. Bucks or any deer for that matter really do like getting up and just getting a drink and lay back down.

Steve....

I'm really thinking this thing a little deeper. Again....outside the rut (and based on my comments on page 1), you're gonna need to snuggle up close to where a buck's bedding. In order to do this....you have to know where that is.

If you don't....you stand a very good chance of walking through that spot on your way to somewhere you think it is. Thus buggering up the area. Nobody wants to do that.....so staying out (if you're not sure) would be "A" solid tactic. If you know....YES! I admitted to probably buggering up spots searching for these gems. If I ever get one pinned down....I'll surely use this. Right time....right place.

I'm not disagreeing with the tactic, at all.

I like the water thing, too. I have multiple streams (even a river) running through all of my properties. I can't for the life of me pin a bruiser down enough to know exactly where he might be watering, mid-day. So....I choose not to chance things. I use the rut as my ace in the hole, though. If I don't bugger the spot up.....chances are he'll be there when his little head overrides his big one.....and I'll have my chance, then.

In short....(and again), this tactic WILL WORK! You'd just better have all your ducks in a row to use them (outside the rut).

I think we're in agreement.

Does? Heck I'm of the opinion they're a little (OK....a lot) more UNcautious. I think they (based on what I see, here) get up every 3 hours or so. I see them at all times of the day.
