tucker301 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Not that simple or cut and dried. If the rut is in, then mid-morning can be very productive, if not the most productive. If the rut isn't in, then sunrise and sunset are when most movement occurs. Weather conditions, moon phases, hunting pressure, food availability and quality, and much more can contribute to how much time the deer spend on the move during the day.

I like to get in early and get set up for those mid day opportunities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
