10 pt around 8am in light rain, 3 years ago
One year I got a buck exactly 2min in to legal shooting time. I have got a deer down to the last min of legal shooting time in the afternoon. Also some really late morning success too. Deer do what they do...lol
Just got in from a sit deer rolled thru at 10am. Most days I'd have been gone for an hour. Calm morning I stuck it out a little longer!
Latest morning deer taken was about 10:30am and that is because I usually leave the bush by then....... earliest afternoon deer would be about an hour before dark and that is only because I usually only hunt the last hour or so before dark...I am guessing most people do the same.
While it might be possible to kill a deer at anytime, I like to play the high percentage times... first 2 hrs in the morning, last hour before dark..
I've shot deer at every time across the board. Key is , this time of year is to be hunting scrape and rube lines. Buck will hit them 2 to 3 times daily. I've shot some of my biggest deer between 11am and 2pm. Best time of year to be in the deer woods in right now!!! Good luck everyone
10pt buck at 9:45am, i was sitting in the woods about 20 yards from a standing corn field. Saw 3 does walk into the corn about 80 yards away. As soon as I saw them i hit the grunt call and 3 mins later that big buck walked right towards me, head down looking for the grunter, and I shot him at 33 yards. This was second week of November, so I had a very good feeling a buck was gonna be trailing those does.
The bulk of my deer have been in the first or last hour of daylight, but I've shot plenty in the middle of the day during the rut.
I have shot morning between 720 and 930, and afternoon anytime within a hour of legal, I have taken a doe at 130 in the afternoon, and a buc at 205
I think it also really depends on what type of hunt it is. When you are driving deer with dogs they can be shot at any time of the day while if you are still hunting then the majority will be morning and before dark
