Just out of cursoity I would like to see when you have killed your deer this year.

1 in the morning-two right at dark in the evening.

There are 4 people on my lease. 2 bucks killed in the morning, 2 in the evening. Not very conclusive as far as patterning goes on our place.

1 - morning, and 1-just before dark. However, I've seen them all day long, but mostly in the morning.

Three in the morning and one in the afternoon.

5 in the morning and 1 in the evening. 5 hunters.

1 buck and 1 doe right at dark in evening. Seen about half in morning and half in evening this season. Seeing more in evening now closer to dark.

Personally I killed two deer in Texas, both in the evening.

1 in Nebraska and it was midday.

Both my wife's deer were killed in the morning.

On the property, it's probably half in the morning and half in the evening. No deer killed midday.

4 guys on my lease - 2 bucks taken - both in the morning.

On our ranch 10 deer have been killed this year, all but 2 are in the morn

1 in evening about 15 minute before sun below horizon. Everyone else I know, either morning or evening, not mid-day. Of course, I don't know anyone who has hunted mid-day with the temps so high in Nov.

1 nice eight point at ~10:00a..., my best one yet, and 1 doe at ~8:00a. Most of the deer I saw this year were actually buck... a first time for that to happen to me..., but the deer were moving almost all day long after the third weekend of rifle season, starting at first light and moving all day, fast.

1 buck @ 7 am opening day, seen most movement in the AM, hunting in Knox co.

Welcome to The Forum.

Personnnally I haven't killed one yet this year, botched a shot on one at about 8:30 a.m. There have been 5 deer killed on the place though by guests, an 8 point and a 10 point about 7:30 on the opening 2 days of season. A 3 point at about 8:30 or 8:45 on opening day. Two does, one about 7:30 one weekend and the second, about 8:30 the next weekend.

thanks good to be here

Both bucks taken on our lease were taken in the early a.m. most of what we have seen has been in the a.m.

Most of our deer have been in the evening just before dark, very little movement in the morning.

Been very little movement in the mornings on my place too. I'll move a little bit to adjust the pillow or blanket. That's about it!!

I got mine about 6:45. Just as the sun was comming up. Hunting in Trinity Co. East Texas.

Hmmm. Well I have taken 3 so far this year.

1 buck, 1 doe in last 10 minutes of light in evening.
1 doe in the AM 7:00am actually.

On our lease we keep some preaty good records of what, when, where and the like. there is no real good line of what better, morn or evening cause we are abut 50/50 so far, but it does appear that in the evening more deer are shot in our low areas, and in the morning more are shot in the higher areas, this might just be a fluke, but so far this year that's what it's looking like for us.

Around Dripping Springs. Hill Country.

I think the survey would be more interesting if we were seeing data collected from people who stayed out all day. I mean... maybe more deer aren't being killed at noon because everyone's back at camp eating lunch and taking naps?

I know this is nothing to take to the bank, but how many times have you waited in your blind until you were bored, cold and hungry... trekked back to the truck to grab a bite and that's when the doe runs past with a buck hot on her tail? It's happened to me more than once.

Don't forget the human factor....most people would "rather" shoot one in the morning so they don't have to clean it in the dark.

i hunted this year twice from 9 am till 2 pm and saw more deer that i ever saw hunting early and late...I would go in till 330 and then go back out..all my buddies that hunt the tex mexico border dont go out till 9 or 10 and just hunt till dark...they see alot of deer from 10 to 2...

Well,..haven't killed any yet this year , but last year both my oldest son and I shot our does in the morning. His was at 10:18am & mine was at 9:38am. And we stay on stand from before sun up to after sun down.

good mornin' to ya
