Do you feel more confident.......
Sitting on stand longer than usual in the morning or getting out earlier than usual in the afternoon? What would you rather do?(rut excluded)Just curious.
Personally if I feel like a longer than usual sit I'd rather do it in the afternoon. I feel better about seeing deer early on in an afternoon hunt than I do seeing deer late on a morning hunt. As time wears on in the morning it feels like I'm hunting bedded deer.

NY....
I've taken 5 bucks in the past....at these times:
6:20PM (DST)
5:20PM (St Time)
7:10AM (St. Time)
8:15AM (St. Time)
7:05AM (St. Time)
I've sat until 11:00AM a few times and have seen a buck as late as 10:15AM. I've gotten to stand as early as all-day.....up to 2:00PM (St. Time) and I just don't see the movement here in the middle of the day that others speak of, elsewhere. Maybe I wasn't in the right spots?
Starting Wednesday.....I'm gonna be out there pretty much throughout the day from now until I either score on a buck I want......or until 11/14. I'll le tyou know how it goes with sightings at differing times than what I've been accustomed to.

Where I hunt, I am more apt to see deer moving in the late morning than I do in the early afternoon. I've seen more deer where I hunt between 9 and 11 AM than I have between 2 and 4 PM for example.

RE: Do you feel more confident.......
The way I prefer to do it is to get to my morning stand at the last minute and maybe stay late.Also, I like toget to my evening stand early and leave early if I'm not seeing much. I don't want to be fumbling around in the dark and bumping deer.
