Hunting at night??

[MFD205]

Hunting at night especially down south is frowned upon severely. My question is why do most people from out west and up north always go hunting at night? Really, I realise you're not actually hunting at night because it's daylight outside when y'all say "On tonight's hunt" We say evening hunt or afternoon hunt. Just wondering why it's said night hunt?
Thanks Fischer.

Same thing down in the South with soda...to you is coke or pop. How about a shopping cart...it's a buggy. Last buggy I saw had a horse attached to it. We say lunch...you might say dinner or supper. It's just semantics.

Lol. In some parts of PA, when someone tells you they were hunting at night...they were hunting at night.

Just wondering. All cold drinks are coke down here. You're right, we eat breakfast, dinner, and supper down here.

Also a bedding area in Mississippi is pretty much the entire state.

It's legal to shoot exotics in TX at night so it's pretty popular... and in E TX dudes just shoot white tails at night.. lol

Because the biggest bucks tend to move from bedding only minutes before dark. I say night hunt because those last legal minutes are when the magic tends to happen more often than not.

Because the best way to get mature bucks to move in the day time is to put more pressure on them at night.

I typically say afternoon and night because I do hunt coyotes at night. So if I tell my wife I'm hunting at night she knows I'll be gone after dark. Also the farms I hunt yotes at I'll tell the farmers I'll be there tonight so they know if they hear gun shots after dark not to call the po-po.

We always say morning and night at my camp in Michigan. If we say afternoon it means a middle of the day sit.

We can legally hunt until one half hour after sunset, by the time I get out of the woods it is dark out. That's night, yes?

True, but the hunt takes place during the day. Not making fun of y’all. Just curious as to why it’s said is all. The Good Lord knows y’all can ask a million questions as to why us southern boys do and say the things we do.
