I enjoy evening hunitng the most. Like you said, it gives me something to look forward to while on stand. That last hour of daylight everything seems to come alive... I hunt both about equally. I always see more activity in the evenings, but I've taken more deer in the mornings.

I enjoy both (getting up early tends to be less appealing though 
) but evenings seem to be more productive in my opinion just because normally i hunt field edges and they all tend to filter out to the feeding area. Mornings i hunt up high on the bluffs where they come to bed but...deer dont all bed in one area like they do feeding areas

I love talking to guys who hunt in a highly pressure WMA and bags 7-8 deer a season..I learned one thing from these guys that I have adopted....THEY HUNT ALL DAY..
Deer can appear at any given time...
Mine..40% at Morning
40% between 1-3:00
20% in the Evening

I love to hunt the morning, but I'm thinking I have seen more big bucks in the evening. Part of why I like mornings is getting up way before the crack of dawn and watching the sun rise. Maybe the best part of morning hunting is that should I be successful I have all day to process the meat. Besides I don't like tracking blood trails at night. And processing animals at night is usually a way for me to cut a finger or worst!
