Morning field hunters

[EastTNHunter]

Anyone hunt fields in the mornings? I'm in one right now for the first time in forever. I snuck in minutes after shooting light and could have shot a nice 2.5yo deer, but after he left and nothing is left in the field I have little confidence. I've always hunted fields in the afternoons, catching deer coming to feed at the end of a day of bedding, but I feel that the deer are now going off of the fields during the daylight hours after a night of feeding. Thoughts?

No moon out so probably didn't feed a lot after dark only way to find out is wait it out, this time of there year they may come through at any time

And when bucks are chasing or tending does I don't mind being where I can see some distance....you just never know.

All I hunt is fields. Last 2 seasons have been disappointing but I've had movement at all hours of the day

Thanks gentlemen. I'm going to hang out here for sure, but I have to pull out by 10-10:30 to take care of some chores. At least hoping for a yote to trot through.

I know that I saw a bunch in the open during the morning a couple of days ago. Bucks chasing does everywhere

I have had pretty good luck the first hour after light hunting fields. But have seen them move and killed a few later on in the morning looking for does that were feeding.

Hunted a field Thanksgiving morning saw a number of antlerless deer. Hunting the same stand in the same field today it's now 9:30 and I've seen zip. You just never know. I do like to be able to see some distance.

Update: using binoculars I saw 2 does in the backyard of a house a quarter mile away.
