what time is best
 

i am wondering what time do you prefer to get into your tree stand and when do you see the most activity

RE: what time is best
 

I would take a morning hunt anyday over an evening but that isn't always possible. Some areas i have stands i cannot get in there in the morning without spooking deer so i have to go else where. For a morning hunt i like to be settled in minimum 1/2 hour before shooting time and in the evening i am in the stand by 4pm usually. I tend to have much more luck on my morning hunts.

I have more luck with evening hunts, but I prefer morning hunts. I like climbing down in the light.;)

I like all day hunts my self. but if I had a chose I would say Morning, or anytime I can get in the woods.

I have had better luck in the afternoon. However, I prefer hunting in the morning as well. There is nothing better than watching the woods wake up! I get in my stand 30 minutes before legal shoot. Usually try to be back on stand around 3 pm.

I don't really have a preference. I do have a hard time getting out of bed sometimes - during a long season[:'(]

I love them all, morning, Evening, middle of the day during the rut.

It can happen at anytime:Djust hope it happens under you;)

i have had luck at all times i think the best thing is to stay all day long

I've had good luck morning and night but for some reason I see alot more deer at night ,so i usually like to be in my stand by 3:00pm and stay till dark.

I get in my stand before light, but I have seen the most movement between 10 and 2. get there early, stay late, that's the best.

If I hunt in the morning I'm in my stand and ready and hour before legal light. Especially if I'm hunting near a food source. In the evenings I like to get out around 4 hours or so before sun down. I usually never see anything the first hour or two but it gives the woods a chance to settle down before they head to feed. Alothough my first bow kill was a doe at 2:15. I was only in the stand for 15 minutres before she cam down the trail headed to a bean field.
