Love to watch the sun come up while sitting in a stand…. Especially on those mornings when it was just cold enough to see your breath . It makes you feel close to God and earth.
(it has been way too long…I gotta get back to it )
Biggest deer I've harvested have mostly been in the afternoon/evening. But I've seen bigger deer in the mornings the past couple seasons and I prefer hunting mornings.
Don’t matter to me as long as I’m in the woods.
Taken nice bucks in the morning and evening and mid day.
I love watching the very first light come out and the temperature differential kick in which usually drops the temp by 20deg sometimes.
But I also love when it starts to get dark and the crickets come out and night creatures start to rustle.
Something about practicing my pack out system in the dark after last light is fun.
I try to beat my best time and also try to make zero metal to metal noise while doing it.
It’s just a fun challenge I put myself through.
Same as setting up for the climb.
