Morning hunts.
The last two hunts I went on in the late afternoon/evening last weekend has produced little action. I noticed the deer have kinda moved out of there summer range the last few weeks. Anyone think hunting mornings is a good choice right now near bedding areas? Or still early?

Re: Morning hunts.
I hunt mornings during the rut but out side of the rut If you have a flawless entry route and can get there two hours before light a morning hunt can work, if not I prefer not to risk it.

Re: Morning hunts.
I'm almost tempted to start hunting mornings. The end of next week the coldest weather of the season is gonna hit and my vacation starts so I will begin my frosty morning hunts!!

Yep!! As far as I'm concerned it's the best time of the whole season to arrow a Slob that's just a little late getting back to bed!!

Re: Morning hunts.
Is two hours the time needed before daylight? The reason I ask (as a very new guy) is that I have went out 3 times in the morning this week and I usually got in my blind about an hour before daylight. Thanks.

Re: Morning hunts.
I think an hour would the minimum time you want to give it, I like to try for 1.5-2 hours just to be safe. Even if the deer aren't back to their bedroom yet I often hear them milling around the bedding area an hour before dark. If you are just getting settled in it might be too late. Of course take this with a grain of salt, you might be able to setup 15 minutes before shooting light and get the job done but that won't work most of the time.

Re: Morning hunts.
Headgear,
Thank you for the reply and “yikes”, getting up at 4:30 took a bit to get used to, now I may have to go even earlier.

I usually have to get up at 3:00 - 3:30 for my morning hunts. 4:30 would be a treat IMO:-)
