Only you can decide if it's worth it for just an hour. If it were me, I'd want to be sure that I'd have a chance of seeing some deer. Like has been said, I'd worry about my job more than getting a deer.

I find "game time" is about 20 minutes before dark where I hunt. When the sun is setting, shadow is beginning to cover the woods, just before dusk, the deer begin to move. I'd have a go at it.

A lot of people say that, I have seen way more deer during the midday hours while I am up and moving around. The dusk and dawn thing probably does hold true for mature bucks though.

Yes, go hunt, that is what I call prime time.

My dad hunts the last 1 hour of daylight everyday after work and he kills a few bucks like that every season. I have also killed at least 1 every year doing this with great success on family property. I would suggest have alot of stands to rotate back and forth, and also hide your approach from game that might already be present. We use tower stands and ground blinds that are wide enough that you can hide behind them and the deer feeding on the food plots/feeders can't see you approaching. Also we use quiet walk-in trails and the north Florida terrain keeps us hidden when approaching (very thick).

YUP!!!! Remember, it's about being in the right place at the right time. That NEVER equates to the couch.

Yes, I hunt at my house a lot and have bagged several deer the last couple years in the last hour. I come home, change, grab my gun and get into the stand.

You sure wont get any if you are not out there. Timing the deer would be key. Closer or further away from their feeding area. Let's say there is a field of clover and they don't like to get to it until dark, maybe a little after. You need to be far enough down the trail to intersect with them at the time that fits your schedule.

If you have all day on the weekends. It may be pleasing to hunt just down wind of their bedding areas on the way to some oak stands or something. Since deer generally rely on the cover of darkness to make a bigger risk for greater reward, that may be the time to focus on what ever in your hunting area is the most appealing to them.

What are the sunset reg's in your state hunting rules?.........In most states it's at sunset time not at dark!
