[QUOTE="BHC, post: 3768484, member: 10391"] Just depends on time of yr.. Early season I have a hard time stayin in stand after 10:00am, because at this time deer are on feeding patterns. Most deer movement is morning, evening, and night. I simply know my chances of seeing deer are lower after that time. However as difficult as it is to stay I know that once the rut roles around if I am to see a deer after that time, chances are it is a buck, and a good chance it's a 2.5 + yr old buck.. My best advice is to hunt until 1:00 and take a break until 2:30 and go back until dark.. Or for a half day hunt, stay until 1-2pm, or get there at noon and stay until dark.. I do not follow this as I should.. I usually hunt daylight to anywhere between 9:30 & 11:00.. And from about 3 until dark.. It takes discipline and mental toughness to put in those kinds of hrs... I have stayed in the stand from daybreak to dark on two occasions, and it really wears on you... The day you do it and kill a big buck mid afternoon will probably be one of the most fulfilling hunts you ever have.. [/QUOTE]
