For archery in Maryland I will start sitting all day on Halloween. For rifle season in PA, I which doesn't start until November 30, I will sit in the same tree from day 1.

Where i hunt my best days are Oct 26-31. A guys I hunt with always gets a good buck on Nov 4. I never made it past Oct 31 without having a deer or two down...

Oct 26 for me if I only had 1 day to hunt that year.

From about October 20 on I just plain try and be in the woods as much as possible. Seems many of the times I intend to be out all day I end up killing late am or early pm though. Will also move based on sign, ind switches etc.

I've also been pretty successful going in between 9-10 and sitting the remainder of the day.

Archery, October 25 until end of season. Only comes into play when it is cold, below 50. Warm weather significantly cuts down mid day action. I generally stay out when I am seeing enough action to suspect there is a hot doe around.

Rarely if ever plan to sit in the same tree all day. Quite often I'll sit my morning tree through mid day, then make a quick move at 2 or 3 for the evening. Or even sit a mid day tree for a specific reason. Not literally an all day sit but materially close.

I don't much buy into the whole rut phases thing. There's a solid month with good rut action here. What phase you see varies day to day and based on weather and luck.

Rifle, I sit all day the first day and the Saturdays when the most guys are out pushung deer around.
