I've done both and can't tell the difference but corning shooting lanes tomorrow for Saturday and curious if anyone noticed any difference in activity when corning middle of day or night for following day hunt?

I do midday. It's easier to see, and at least around here, that's when normal ranching activities occur. I think the deer would tend to spook out of an area after dark.

I always go just before I get into the blind when I hunt, morning or evening. The deer learn the sound of the road feeder and will show up fast.

My FIL swore by corning before his morning and evening hunts. He always killed good deer so hard to argue against it.

I believe the sound of corn being thrown out is what alerts the deer to the area, so I say corn in the morning before you get in the stand and around 2:00 before you get in the stand for the afternoon hunt.

This

yup, right before the hunt

I ALWAYS corn my roads in my 4 lanes which are all about 250 yrd in length so about 2 sacks is what I put down, but I do mine by hand from my fourwheeler. Chances are whether morning or afternoon, once I corn it up and get settled in and crack that can of floor sweep sausages, I have deer waiting on me. maybe its the vienea sausages that do the trick

Right before I hunt, 300 yards in all directions at about 10-15 yard intervals to keep the deer moving. I don't overdo the corn either, just a second or two every interval and I generally give myself a 50 yard buffer zone so they don't walk right up on me. I have tried other methods, but this works best for me.

I always corn before I get into the blind

This is what we have always done.

I'll corn 100 yards both east and west of my blind. I do it just before shooting light. Even if the feeder has already gone off, I'll see some deer in the road after 15-20 minutes.

Absolutely, sometimes the deer are out eating by the time I park the truck and make it back to the blind. I had a buck at one time that would run in behind the truck about 30 yards and start eating before I could get out of the sendero.

Mid afternoon using the old tractor.
