I agree with rockman on this one. If you're in a stand, stay there until legal shooting hours are done. I've shot more deer in the last hour on a stand in the evening than any other time. The second most productive time is the first hour after legal shooting hours (30 minutes before sunup and 30 minutes after sunup in most places).

A more important tip (and one you didn't ask for) is practice shooting. I don't mean at the range from a bench. I mean from all different positions from different places. If you have a place to do it, practice shooting from a deer stand. Set up targets at different distances and in different locations from far left to far right. Once you get good at that, learn to shoot with your off hand and practice with that. All the hunting in the world won't help you if you see that monster buck and then can't get a shot at him, or worse, miss because he snuck past on the wrong side.

I normally shoot left handed but just this last weekend I had to switch from left to right in order to get a clean shot at a deer. Which reminds me... I need to oil that front sling swivel... dang, squeaking piece of....


But then...

Hunt well, hunt safe.
