Hey Nutz
Hey HS
I had an ant farm once......them fellas didn't grow shit.
What time does the night light come on? It differs, you know...
I voted midday because that's the mean. While I only have three really good ones on the wall, the close calls that I somehow screwed up have come at various times from right at first light with barely enough light to see through the same conditions at last light. I can only say this for Ohio, because that is where I first had enough confidence to start sitting all day...that was never even a thought in SC, AL, or MS. Maybe it would be the same, though. If it is anywhere near the rut in Ohio or IN, I sit all day, and I've had a lot of close calls at big bucks throughout the day. The bruisers I've killed, missed, or wounded have been first light, multiple between 8:30-9:30, 1050, straight up noon, 2ish, and multiple between 5-dark. The majority of those came Nov.5-8 with a beast missed on Halloween at 30 min before last light and a beast getting really lucky at 25 yards at 8am on Nov. 16. So...sit yo azz in the stand from sunup to sundown and enjoy not having to be somewhere else!

Cutovers late morning & mid day
I killed my biggest in evening, but have seen more bucks in the am.
867-5309
Between Oct. 20th and Nov. 5th (depending on the year / lunar cycle) between 10:00 and 11:00 in the morning. If they don't have a doe cornered they're checking signposts. If you're already on that string they will be checking and moving fast. Makes bowhunting a pure delight. Rest of the season is just meat killing.

I coulda busted that ass this morning bout 10ish. With the Truck going to get my mullet cut off
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
The first 10 days of October are when the magic happens. That is when our bucks are on their feet hunting for does and looking to fight. The time of day does not seem to mater much. I agree with buckpro The pressure has a lot to do with big bucks walking any other time of the year. I have found that if it gets to 31 or more or under 30 the bucks lay down.
1'hour before sunrise
It was 30.05 where I was at today. They were walking good tonight, there were several big bucks killed this evening and I saw two mature bucks and 6 young bucks.
