I'm in SW Michigan, and most of my luck that time of year has come on morning hunts, between 9:30-11. On a rifle opener, it's more like 15 minutes after legal shooting hours, lol.

We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules

That's funny. Seems spot on for me in southern Michigan.

It’s been about 90% evening kills for me. Ranging from 2:00 to last light with the majority of the deer after 4:30. I’ve shot the majority of these bucks somewhere between October 21-November 10th. My top 3 bucks were September 9th at last lift, November 10th at 5:00, and November 3rd at 4:15.
All my buddies joke with me that I can’t kill a good buck in the morning, and they are not far off. Lol. I hunt just as much in the morning, but evenings are awesome for me.

all bow kills
I have had numerous encounters with more mature deer during mid day in northern Missouri than any other time; so much so that I don't get out the truck at any farm I'm hunting until I can see good in the morning and I'm also back at the truck before it gets dark in the afternoon.
Now in Mississippi if I cant get in the tree 1.5 hrs before daylight I'm wasting my time and afternoon hunts I have to hunt until the last possible second.
with that being said I have two separate approaches for two different states and both seem to be working pretty well

There's a few holes from forgetting to update file and then doing it later after the fact so not sure of exact time and even sometimes the date but it's decently accurate.
