Morning or afternoon hunt?

What time of day do you prefer to hunt? Some swear by the morning hunt and some by the afternoon hunt. I think it depends on what part of the season you're in. What is your preference?

I killed my biggest buck in the afternoon. So afternoon!

I prefer morning but this time of year the afternoons are the best.

Ive got most of my bigger bucks in the morning so thats what i chose

I would hunt any time of day but if I have to pick, morning hands down.

I shot one of my bucks at 12 noon, the others in the evenings, But i much rather prefer the morning hunt, I think its much more peacful watching the woods come to life, plus its so much cooler most of the time. I have missed a few bucks on morning hunts, so it really doesnt matter what time of the day during the rut.

I like the afternoon the best thats when i seem to kill and see my bigger bucks. But I think it can happen time of the day during the rut.

I love to hunt all day, but morning seems to be more productive. I have shot all my deer about equally between the two so it really don't matter to me.

i love morning hunts. when u hunt the morning you have all day to be out in the woods. when u hunt the afternoon hunt its only a matter of time before it gets too dark.

my biggest buck has come in the evening......But I like mornings also.......

so I like evenings over all seems I spook less deer.......

all day during the rut

heck I like mornings and evenings!!!!

Afternoons during the early season and pre-rut.


Mornings during the rut.

Like Dream Catcher said. Early season most of my luck has been in the afternoon, but mornings during the rut is when I've had the most encounters with big bucks.

I usually see more deer in the morning where I hunt, but growing up, I always saw more blacktails in the evening. Maybe its a location thing.

so yall say that in the early season that evening hunts are better? why? may be a silly question but im just curious why evenings are better for early bow season.

I don't know. Never really thought about it. The way I see it anytime tp be on stand is good time. But if I had to choose it would be the Afternoon in the early season, Morning for the month of November and Afternoon for the late season.

I think anytime in the stand is an unbeatable time. It really doesn't matter in my opin. I think it all comes down to the deer density and how the layout is.

Funny...I have seen more deer during morning hunts, but I have killed all my deer in the afternoon/evening. I voted morning just because I have seen more in the morning and I love watching the woods wake up.

I can't pick one over the other. There are things I like about both. Just happy to be in the stand anytime!

I love to hunt in the morning. There's nothing like hearing and seeing the woods come alive. If only you didn't have to get up so early...

I like the morning hunts... watching the sun come up and hearing all the birds wake up ....makes me want to jump in the stand.

I agree with the two posts right above me. There is just something about being in the stand while the sun comes up!

morning, definitely. gets a little chilly, but it's worth it

I would have to say morning during the rut, and evenings during the rest of the year. I am pretty partial to evenings right now though since got my first bow kill in the evening

Really depends on the time of year,Right now it's afternoon,But here in a couple weeks it will be a ALL DAY sit.

i choose ornings for a couple reasons,,first ,i gt out in the mountains arround 5 to 5:30am .this way i can be in my spot b4 the other hunters start making their way to there stands and sites ,so i know where the others are hunting and if danger is lurking near by a trigger happy hunter and second ...this gives the deer time to settle down after i ride my atv through the hills to get near my stand so thet can go on their usual travel patterns after daylight
