So what do you guys prefer for deer hunting.Me personally i hate to get up that early in the cold.I would prefer the afternoon hunt and wait till dark thirty.What do you guys think as far as getting the best deer or seeing more deer.

Evenings

I enjoy hunting both but I have killed more deer in the evening. When hunting mornings, I do tend to see most deer moving later in the morning. 0930-1030. At least were i hunt in BW.

 

[Comfortably Numb]

Always kill more in the morning. You eliminate over half of the competition on public land by hunting in the mornings. The deer know this as well and pattern the afternoon crowd.

Afternoons and mid day not a morning person lol. Honestesly never killed one in the morning untill after 8 am so hard to hit the woods early for me. Plus I get off at 3 pm and can be in the stand by 330 so it just works out better for me. I still go in the mornings before daylight sometimes just haven't had any luck yet.

75% of the deer that I have killed have been in the morning. But this will be my first year hunting public land. So we shall see. I typically hunt both and make a day out of it.

I like mornings best but have killed more in the afternoon

I usually kill more at dark with my spotlight and rifle.

Ok i like the really late afternoons and real early morning they are both good as long as its dark out. just kidding but thats when i usually see the most either going to or leaving the woods

I am not a morning person at all and it takes everything I have to get my ass out of bed a 3am but I have killed just as many in the morning as I have in the evening. Killed several during the middle of the day. My biggest buck was shot about 10 minutes after first shooting light. My second biggest was shot about 10 minutes after sunset.

I like afternoons for a couple reasons. I would rather get situated in my stand during daylight. I also like to get in to my spot while the deer are not moving as much in the afternoon and be in place for the evening/dusk with less chance of spooking deer on the way in than going in in the early morning while the deer are active and risking spooking them getting to and in my stand. With a optimum access route, this would be largely alleviated though.

 

[Five Prongs Of Fury]

I have killed equal amounts morning and afternoon. However I think my success rate on seeing more and bigger bucks has come in the morning.

 

[EmeraldGhostJr]

Whichever gets me a deer! LoL j/k. In all serious depends on the moon and the feeding when I hunt. Though I do enjoy sitting in a stand and watching the sun set and the moon start to rise. Then have a deer walk out @ 0 dark 30 where I can barely see them and whack 'em.

As a shift worker I hunt all that I can. I like afternoon hunts because you almost know exactly how long your going to sit. While hunting morning all I can think about are things I should be doing. I have a hard time getting down because I start thinking of what might come out if I was to sit longer. I've been more successful on the morning hunts. I've also starting sitting mid day or mid morning till dark.

 

[Countryboyreese]

I see most of my deer at around 9-10 am and just a few minutes before dark, but I do like to see the sun rise and watch the woods wake up. It always seems like a few minutes after the sun goes down but its still light, all kinds of animals start moving around. And it happens at the exact same time every evening, I don't know what that's about but I can always count on hearing and seeing a whole bunch of different animals about 10 minutes before its to dark to shoot. I still believe that if you want to shoot a good deer you need to sit in the stand as much as you can because you really never know when they will show up.

I've killed my biggest in late afternoon, but the majority I have taken in the morning. Even if I had never killed one in the morning, I would still get up and go sit in the stand. It's my favorite time, watching the sun come up and listening to the woods waking up.

Some people are wired to get up at the crack of 4am because thats thier lifes clock. Some sleep till the last minute. If u are used to going to bed at 9:00 pm. You'll be up at 4 am. Most that go to sleep after the 10:00 pm news arent so eager to morning hunt. I love afternoon / evening hunts & fishing. I think the animals do too. Especially during full moons. To each thier own.

 

[jakec]

ive always hunted early morning (5 am to 9 or so) and late evening (3 to dark). last year i was hunting in bay minette and my buddy said to stay in the stand till noon. i did and i saw more deer from 10 to noon than i had ever seen in my life on a stand. now i get there about 6 or so and stay in my stand till 1 then get back in there about 2.30. i enjoy the early morning better though.

 

[deersniper270]

Killed more in the afternoon. Hardly have a chance in the mornings beside like the first week of rifle season. I prefer the evening hunts.
