More shoots heard in the morning by me when I am hunting public. So I would have to say mornings.

Depends on the phases of the moon. I actually prefer morning deer hunts, becuase if you shoot one and have to track it, it is getting lighter and brighter outside. Same thing makes cleaning a little easier. On the other hand, I like setting up in the evening on wheat fields and glassing them over with binoculars. But I usually try to time my activity to coincide with the moon. I like to hunt when the moon is overhead or exactly 12 hours after the moon has been overhead. For about a week, I was seeing the majority of movement from 11 AM to 3 PM.

This season has convinced me. Forget getting up early. Get there about 9am, hunt as long as I can stay on stand. Midday for me.

I hunt more evenings work and all considered but kill most of my deer in the morning. Best 10 point righrt at legal shooting time. he was there in the dark morning. first light to 0930 has been best for me during rut. NE woods of Ct.

The morning is a fun sit but my vote is on my evening hunt!

For me it’s always been in the morning. I normally don’t see much for the evening hunt.
