What time of day do you get your deer?
 
I have just started getting my deer mostly in the afternoon and late evening. Evening is when i get my big bucks on the edges of my orchard. What time of day do you get your deer? Which time do you see or get big bucks.

I usually get mine at night with a spotlight. They are a lot closer to the road then.

It depends on the time of the year and the place I'm at. If I'm in by a food plot I'll see them mostly right at daybreak or right before dark. If I'm in the woods between the bedding and feeding areas I'll see them between 8-10. If I'm in the really thick stuff where I like to go, I could see them at anytime. I've killed a big deer at 11:30, and another nice buck at 2 in the afternoon. That covers the where. If it's pre-rut, the deer are pretty patternable. You pretty much know when and where they will be walking by. The rut is a whole different story, they could show up anywhere anytime, they don't really follow a schedule as long as they are chasing does trying to get a peice. Post-rut they tend to develop a pattern again, and once you find that pattern you can begin to target the deer at specific times and locations again.

I get all mine between 12 and 1 in the afternoos. Its when all he hunters are gone for lunch so the deer get up to move for a couple mins. Usually about 1:20 the woods come alive with deer movement. There is soo much sent from everyone else in the woods that they dont know waht a person still there and one that was there.

Most of my deer come before 9:00 AM followed closley to 1030 AM. I have taken a few in the afternoon and insted of a time as it get dark earlier as the season goes on I'll say from 1 hr before dark to the end of legal shooting.

I hunt by stalking and most of my deer are shot from 10:00 to 12:00. Sure I have shot them at other times too, but, most have been at those times.
