RE: How do you rifle hunt?
Some days i hunt from a stand till about 11 am than i still hunt till 2ish and work my way to another stand and stay there till dark.
Other days i'll spend all day in the stand.
And other days i'll grab a black or brown bucket and just sit somewhere where I can see over a creek bottom or some sort of clearing.

I would say 90% of the time i still hunt, I think its most effective if you have a general idea of what your deer are doing, plus, where i hunt here in KY its pretty thick so its a very challenging situation, during the peak of the rut though i always still hunt, i like to try to stalk either the last week of gun season or during the late MZ season, alls fair and what works for one man doesnt always work for another, good luck,

Way down here we hunt different for different species and different ground cover.We never use tree stands but will sit and glass more open faces in the mornings and evenings and stalk the thick stuff during the day.But then there is deffinately no shortage of venison in the hills.

when we go to deer camp in WV we hunt in the stands til 10 or 11 then come down for lunch, and get back up arounf 1. or sit all day. then if we all still have tags left near the end of the week we start doing mid day drives thru the thickets and such.
when we hunt in MD on our friends property we sit in the stand pretty much all day because the guys all around us keep the deer moving all day. late in the week when not many guys hunt, then we start doing some drives again and push some deer out to those who havent filled a tag yet.

We usually sit for the first and last 3-4 hours of the day. Then, between those times, it's lunch time and when we do deer drives in the thick shelterbelts, etc. Like this weekend, during the slwo times, we are actually taking a break to watch the Huskers play at A&M.
