I have had good hunts both in the AM and PM, but if i had to choose i would take the AM. I see more in the AM for longer periods of time and the PM usually just the last hour or so.

If I had only one choice, it would be AM. Although the best buck
I ever killed was at 1:20 in the afternoon. As everyone probably knows, during the peak rut, it could be great at any moment at
any time.
Had a trail cam out a few years ago very near my stand. Had to
leave about 10:30 that morning, but I wish I hadn't. Looked at
the card a few days later....and was I pissed off. 1:00pm a
monster was crusing by about 30 yards from my stand on the same
day.

Depends on where I am hunting.

I have killed my best bucks within an hour of sundown, but I prefer the mornings because I more time and my options are greater.
But, I never have gotten over the thought most everywhere that I hunt, I am sure deer see me or hear me come in every morning, so it may take quite a few hours for things to quiet back down and normal travel resume.....
In the mornings, I don't see many deer at daylight and most of my deer activity is around 8-10 oclock.
If I had to choose, I would go in about noon and hunt until dark. Unless I have at least 4-5 hours in my stand, I feel like i cheated myself...lol.
Alot of times, I go and stay all day, so I don't have to choose.....
Plus, it's easy to decide when to leave, when it gets too dark to see...lol.

Mornings hands down. When I can work my business fulltime and no longer have to teach, I will hunt every morning but only evening hunt during peak rut.

Evening for bow season.
Mornings are my favorites for many reasons, not the least of whick is because the day is coming in and long from being over. the evening represents a definite cut off time that always leaves me a little sad.
I have hunted 15 to one more mornings than evenings becasue of work schedule but i can tell you i enjoy the day coming to life and during the rut i prefer the morning to mid day for sure.
