I shot my first whitetail buck at 7:45, then shot my 2nd and biggest at 3:30. Personally, I like hunting the mornings more.

I see more in the morning but never have good luck in the am. Have shot all of my biggest deer in the afternoon and a few right around noon.

It's all about mid-day, when a lot of the other hunters are gone for lunch.

x2 The bucks seem to be going from one bush to the other looking for does. Mid day is the best.

Mid day and the evening is when I've had the most luck. And when I've killed my biggest deer.

Saw him late in day but couldn't get near him for a shot so headed back first thing next morning advising my partner that if we see does this guy won't be far away as the dominate buck. Saw does within 1/2 hour of first light and he was bedded down with them. He stood up broadside.

Default Bucks

Elk,
good question.
These past two days I have seen some really nice bucks in the AM, 9:30-10:30.
I have killed my biggest bucks in the late afternoon, have killed lots of bucks in the AM.
If I had permission and two wt buck tags I would have two very large bodied bucks yesterday and today.
Just to add time of month.
November 11th has been good to me right up till the end of November,
Particularly this week.

Kinda any time of the day. But have shot my 3 biggest in the morning, a 177" at 9 am, a 187 at 8:30am and the 159 at 11:30 am. I do prefer to hunt the mornings though but have seen the majority of the big ones right around noon. Have shot some good ones in the evening as well.
