To follow up my range question, what time of day and/or what were the light conditions when you shot your last deer?

this deer was taken on 12-04-03 at about 8:30 AM he also had two other bucks with him . it was very bright and cold that day

I shot at a lot of other deer at every time you can think of from first light to very very last night. Last year I got my buck at about 4:00 PM right after the farmer cut down all the corn in the fiels.
I do not think there is any magic time to see deer.

8:30 a.m. on a sunny, frosty morning.

It was a cold. cloudy day threatening snow all morning. Time was about 11:15 am. Buck was trying to sneak out behind me and stopped for a second in a small clearing to look back before going over the hill. Fatal mistake that Blacktails make all the time. Lawdog

About 9:30 in the morning on a sunny but cold day. The drivers pushed him out of the balsams, and he ran out into a beaver meadow and stopped for me (at 175 yds).

It was about 0830 hrs, 12/01/04, I know it was darn cold, but I don't remember if there was cloud cover or not.

I've taken more Whitetails in the late afternoon, last season's Deer was taken about 1545 on a cold, clear afternoon. Most of my Whitetail hunting is confined to North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.

I get to Bowhunt few mornings but in 48 years most deer have been taken after 4pm.

A little after 10 A.M. Clear and cool. Frost had just melted off the exposed areas. Three or four bucks on the hillside feeding.

5 minutes before the end of legal shooting hours, which in Florida at the time was about 6:10 PM.
