Who all has killed a WT buck in the middle of the day? What time was it? Was the rut going on? Me personally, all my bucks have come in the typical morning or evening. But, I had my chance once: went to make a quick grocery run once about 1pm in Mid-December. Got almost all the way out of the ranch, looked into a field, and I'll be darned if there wasn't a mature buck out there running does. 2nd rut was going on. Course, the rifle was in the cabin . Learned a couple lessons that day.

Killed quite a few in the middle of the day
When its cold and drizzly I sit all day.
When its warm I go in at 9:30
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I have seen quite a few during midday and killed some. I have guided a few hunts where we killed midday.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I have guided several hunters back to the blind after breakfast and have taken some of the better bucks between 11am and 2pm.

I always try to hunt mid-day when there is a full moon. Have killed several deer during the middle of the day that way. Knew an old-timer when I was a kid that never went to the woods until after 9 am and usually would hunt til 1 or 2. He always killed big deer. He always said the big ones walk in the middle of the day because there were no hunters in the woods.

When its cold and drizzly I sit all day.
When its warm I go in at 9:30 Trophy I usually take a similar strategy. What surprised me about my earlier example was that it was a sunny, blue-bird day. But that's the rut for ya.

I have killed a few during midday hours. I have also noticed by late Nov. and Dec. a lot of movement during the midday hours. Guess those deer figure out a lot of non activity is going on at that time. I will often makes three sits during December. Predawn till 9:30 or so; take a small break or change stands, 11 till about 1; another break and then 3 till dark. Many times the midday sit has produced the most sightings. I basically believe every minute is a good time to be out in the stand. Just can't kill or see much sitting in camp.

Killed a Booner at 1:30 on public land in 2004. Was in the woods at 9:30am immediately following a long soaking rain. It was a long sit but very much worth it!

I have killed 2 nice deer around noon. But, I have also set for many, many hours and not seen deer from 10am-3pm. It is worth a try, but I'd take along an ipad, for time passing!
