Also when it's extremely cold 20s or so overnight I normally go in the woods between 7-8. I haven't hunted midday during bow season mainly because it's so hot so can't really offer any advice there. The secret to a long marriage is to keep on dating, just as you did before marriage. We have "date night" once a week. Hers is Saturday, mine is Thursday. The only time a married woman gives those is if your not married to them!

The 12:00pm buck popped out in a clover field for a quick lunch. The 1:15pm buck was cruising through timber. Last edited by Claims Rep.; 10/19/16 07:41 PM. Jesus...

Many a time, I have climbed up into the stand in the early morning darkness and climbed down under the evening cover of darkness. Deer can and do move at any hour of the day. Sometimes deer move when I think they shouldn't and don't move when I think they should. I've seen bucks being chased by someone's pet in the middle of the day. Sometimes they pattern humans and will go to food plots midday, or just stroll through the woods. The best time to kill a deer is when you are out there and hunting.
