    I have a cut corn field with a small plot at the end. I have no other access but the field. Should I only hunt it as a PM stand or ease back there the morning? I have a good wind but a lot of people talk about not hunting in the morning in October and I don't want to booger up the area.

    If you have a good wind and the conditions are all right, then go hunt it. Can't kill em if you aint in the stand!

    Im hunt a property that has beans, I cant do morning hunts because I will run out every deer in the field getting to my stand. I only hunt in the evenings.

    I would not do a morning hunt... No matter how early you get there deer will always be there before you. I feel morning hunts do more harm than good right now.

    I don't hunt mornings until the rut... But that's just me.

    I agree with Mnhunterr, I only hunt evenings until the pre-rut, most mature bucks will be back in their bed by the time you get in your stand. Actually even in the evenings I hunt secluded food plots or over a water hole. Cold fronts can put a buck on his feet earlier then normal. Thats my experience. Scoot

    Ehhhhh. With your set up Id wait til PM. I hunt mornings and afternoons but all my morning sits are transition areas where I know deer aren't gonna be in the early am when I get in. Don't fight the wind either, you'll never win
