Walk ways to food sources and you will see most your activity right after sun up and right before sun down.

Also later in the month you will want to sit earlier and earlier. Right now in KS I typically try to sit 30 min before sun up leave by 9:30 and 3 hours before sunset. While so far the most activity I have seen has only been within 30 min of sunrise or sunset it is still important to get set early so your sweat can dry and you can get good and settled before any deer are in the area. During the rut I hunt 5 am-11 then 2pm til dark(some days all day) and I will hunt on walk ways and along the edge of fields where I see family groups mingling.

I have killed all of my biggest deer after 9am here in Georgia the last couple of seasons. Talk to some old hunters in your area and they can tell you stories and times of day that they have seen deer moving. Good luck!

I like mornings my self! And I try to stay in my stand till most people start getting down. I have many occasions where other hunters getting down have spooked deer my way! Plus I like tracking in the day light!!!

I think it may be very convenient. You can easily compare prices in different countries and find your dream hunting. Your opinion is highly needed!
