10 to 2
 

i have all ways heard that 10 to 2 is a time to be in the woods with thr rut coming in, this might sound dumb but if i hunt 10 to 2 what time should i be in the woods before day light or hour after, can someone shead some light on this issue. thanks

If you can hack it I'd hunt from sunup til sundown for the next two wks. If your schedule doesn't permit doing that just spend as much time as you can. Doesn't matter if you hunt from 10-2 or 6-6 it's about to happen go when you can and spend as much time as you can in the next few wks.

x2, What he said.

Ditto on the all-day sits. Starting tomorrow, i'm planning for 7 all-dayers in a row, this is the time to be in the woods!

If you can control your scent, anytime is a good time in rut. Problem with sitting on a stand sunup to sundown is your scent will tend to linger. If you got a nice breeze blowing where you want, its works.

I agree 100 %... or if you can change spots will also help with the scent.

I'm fighting a cold right now (need my sleep) so i plan heading out tomorrow around 10 ish till 2 or 3 hopefully ill change spots and maybe head to my friends house to hunt after or maybe finish off the day in a bean field.

Ya can't kill'em sitting on the couch...unless you have a couch in your hunting blind!

I have the next week off of work [Yipppeeeee!!] and I am going to do my best to sit dawn till dusk every day. Take a backpack in with some food and water and enjoy the woods!

Ditto! I hunt daylight to dark for the 2 weeks preceding slug season here in IL. It will begin soon!!:biggrin:
