Depends on what area I hunt,but most of the time is just after daybreak when I see the most activity...;)

I would have to say that I see alot more deer in the morning than I do in the afternoon. Almost all the deer that I have gotten have been in the morning.

Mornings win hands down for me,,altho my best buck so far was killed in the afternoon..After the weather cools down & the rut kicks in I generally either hunt all day or until around 3 PM,,depending on my chosen spot..I' ve noticed that if I have an un~productive 1st few hours after daylight,,well,,around 10 AM I get th ol IBalls on full alert & lots of times the deer will be a buck at that time of day..

I probably see alot more deer in the morning if I' m sitting. Or any time of the day if it' s raining. But almost every buck I' ve ever killed was in the middle of the day, while still-hunting.:)

The first few hours of light have been good to me, but on the rainy or snowy days, around 11am to 1pm can get pretty active!!

Mornings....especially during warm weather or in areas
with a good deal of hunting pressure. Also, deer after
moving throughout the night, tend to be more relaxed
during early morning hours or let' s just say, they seem
to be a bit easier to catch ' off guard' ;).

Well I have seen more deer in the morning and killed my biggest buck in the morning, but I have killed more in the afternoon, but then again I hunt more in the afternoon after work. They move on and off throughout the day during the rut.

On our lease usually we see them move about two hours after daybreak. Then late afternoon again.I' ve seen several in the heat of the day around noon time.If I had to pick one time late afternoon would be my choice.

I would have to say in the morning. The best time is between 8:00 to 10:00. I' ve sat in tree stands in the late afternoon and have never seen anything.
