Should I hunt during the AM or PM?
Filed under: Hunting Tactics
Question
What is your philosophy and criteria regarding hunting AM or PM? Typically, what time do you try to be in your stand? I have heard that we should walk the wood trails in the AM and the field edges in the afternoon on the way to the stand. Is this true? Thanks for your show. It is tremendous.
Gary,
I look at each property and stand location independently. I like to hunt stands that allow me to approach, hunt, and exit without alerting deer.
Some properties have so many fields or openings that it’s tough to approach stands during the AM without alerting deer. It’s tough for hunters to be moving when deer are moving without alerting deer. Such hunts require planning.
During most situations deer bed during the day. This allows hunters to approach most stands during the afternoon without alerting deer.
I suggest you evaluate each stand and determine what time of day you can approach it without alerting deer.
Enjoy creation,
