    Mornings I guess if I had to choose. I'd say I've been equally successful morning and evening. Biggest to date evening, but I like the morning activity.

    Evening, no question. Over all, I see more movement towards evening than I see in the mornings.

    I with morning for sure. But it seems most hunting shows on tv have best results in the evening because its always pitch black shortly after they shoot the deer and recover it.

    Better luck outside the rut in the evenings, but enjoy the mornings like many others here.

    Mornings, only because recovery is so much easier during the daylight.

    Last year both were successful, I guess mornings all day and evening, all of the above. It was a bit hard to track one last year at night with only a few pin drops to follow, but 100 yards down the valley there he be.

    Hate getting up that early but love to watch the woods come alive in the morning.

    Have had the most success in the evening and probably seen more mature deer of an evening.

    Split up the hunt. I sit on the edge of the field in the morning and deeper in the woods on the other side of the property. What ever the trail camera shows is the truth so follow that. If the camera shows deer coming early morning I'm gonna sit there. Pretty easy picking.

    I'm a early morning guy to start with, so it's morning hunts for me. There's just something about watching the world wake up from a tree stand that puts life into me. I've taken nice deer both morning and evening.........but for pure enjoyment of the total hunting experience, mornings are where it's happening in my world.

    I've shot as many deer in the morning as i have in the evening but would have to chose evenings!

    Not only is it easier to get to an evening stand undetected, calling has always worked best as all the deer are getting up and heading to food in the evenings!

    Evenings earl and late season, mornings in the rut. So if I had to pick, I'd have to go evenings for best odds and number of deer seen.

    Mornings are great during the rut, but evenings better the rest of the season
