508 Deer Movement

[Whitetail77]

Hi everyone,
Finally got approval from my wife to take my 5 year old son out for a half day hunt on Sunday. Thinking of an area in 508 I use to hunt religously, but haven't been there for a few years. How's the deer movement now with the rut upon us. Would a morning hunt of evening hunt be better? I still have my buck tag, but am focusing on trying to take a doe with my supplemental while "the dude" is with me. I'm getting picky in my old age (Buck tag), but also am limiting what I shoot since the deer populations are still recovering. Thanks for your help in advance. Thanks

My opinion is that you'd be better off doing a morning hunt rather than an evening hunt. The deer seem to have turned a little nocturnal and moving later in the evening. Finding one in a field or heading to a bedding area in the morning would be my choice if I only had half a day. Good luck!

Kind of hard to say yes or no or am/pm. 508 is a huge general area. Get into an area with deer and you should be rewarded. The ruts on bucks are chasing does. Get setup and hope for the best.
