RE: Do you like mornings or afternoons??
I usually prefer mornings,,,but it really depends on which farm Im hunting.
2 of the farms I hunt Ive had more success in the am. On the other farm Ive had more success in the evening on one part of it.
If I had my choice it would be morning..

RE: Do you like mornings or afternoons??
I love to walk in while it's dark and slither up a tree to watch the world wake up. I just love the fall leaves, smells and chill in the morning air. BUT... each place is it's own deal. It really depends what I'm hunting. Field edges, I like nights. Deep woods and travel corridors to bedding areas... I like mornings. It depends on how I can get to my stand. You know I can't really tell you which time of day I've shot more deer, but I do like having all that daylight to track and drag and take care of the dead deer.And like I said, when doyou kill most.... it depends on the setup and what groundyou're hunting.

I enjoy sitting out all day in my deer stand. It's relaxing to just sit and relax watching nature.However, I prefer mornings so I have the day to harvest and drink beer @ night. I guess it depends on how I feel when I get up.

Mornings. I've killed more deer in the morning than in the evenings. As GMMAT said there is a finality to hunting the evening and I am always wondering if I am leaving too early when I hunt mornings, but still I pick mornings.

I like mornings. I have a lot of luck in the morning as well. Also when you kill a deer in the morning there is plenty of time to recover it and process it. The other thing is all the people walking, helicopters flying,dogs being walked, golfers playing golf, construction workers pounding on new houses, bulldozers in new subdivisions have all not started yet. Evenings are nice too but tracking in the dark is not as enjoyable to me. I'll take a morning hunt on a nice day over a night hunt usually.

To be honest with you, this is about the same way it always goes down for me to. I love the mornings and see more, but the moment of truth usually happens in the evenings.

My last post sparked another question. I love the afternoon hunt. I hunt mornings, but have always killed most of my deer in the afternoons. I have only killed 2 deer out of 20 with the bow in the morning. Don't know why really, just happens that way. although, most of my hunting is done in the afternoon b/c of work, maybe that's why. Do you guys like a.m. or p.m. better??
