Evenings hands down. Deer become much more active in the evenings.

Both seem about the same to me as far as seeing numbers and quality of deer.
I MUCH prefer shooting my deer in the morning for processing purposes, though.

I prefer mornings. Deer sightings in the evenings tend to be more intense, but for a much shorter period of time.
Plus, evening kills are significantly more stressful for me due to nighttime tracking.
Also, waiting for it to get pitch black before leaving my stand can often be a serious test of my self discipline. I seem to be much more disciplined about early stand arrival as opposed to making myself stick it out at the end of the day.

I myself prefer the morning hunts as well, because its just a surreal moment when the sun breaks the horizon and the woods start to come to life.
plus what winchester said. You got the whole day in front of you.

I feel more confident in the mornings, but when I do most of my hunting (around the rut), both are good.

I usally prefer mornings.Mainly because most the evening deer I see are in the 1/2 hour or so before it gets dark.If I have to track one I prefer to legally carry a gun.
Any time I see the Barometor dropping is the right time for me.

I think it's evenings for me. I don't mind doing knife work in the dark as long as I have a buddy to hold the light. I also prefer to get set up in the afternoon because I can see, and make a little more noise in the afternoon because of wind and birds n such. I like to hear the song dogs on the way back in of an evening too.
But I'm like most of us...it doesn't matter as long as I'm out there!
