[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3042738, member: 5412"] Most of my wall hangers have been shot when hunters have left the stand. Cruisers during pre rut, rut, or post rut while they are still stupid. My spot that I don't have anymore was in the middle of a quarter section with zero cover like any trees, etc. Some brush and high grass along a creek and that was it. Nobody in their right mind would put a stand there, but each side was wooded. The cruisers used that creek and brush as a method to move to the other wooded areas in search of love with a doe. Four wall hangers with the biggest being 158 3/8" came from that stand/area. One made B&C, but deducts took it out. During Rut, never leave the stand unless you have to. I don't believe there is a time better than others during that period. Early Archery, I have pics of does all times of the day. Bucks always nocturnal unless they are yearlings. Muzzle Loader, see some bucks on the first weekend come out closer to daylight and as the week progresses, they come out more in the light as its pre-rut. Scraping, and sparring with the young bucks. The time period between MZ and Gun season, I can't tell you. I'm trout fishing in Missouri for the 30th year in a row during that time for the Brown Trout spawning run. My second love. Run up to gun season, the bucks disappear. They have does sequestered in the timber, or grass areas, and OSA hunters lament the rut is over early because they don't see any bucks. Depending on the doe vs buck ratio, you may or may not see cruising bucks at this time. If your population is skewed to lots of does, the bucks don't have to travel much to find the next doe. If the ratio is closer to the optimum of 1 to 1, bucks will be cruising everywhere looking for the next score. So with that in mind, pick your time to go. I will say this, and I don't have the pic any more because of a crash, but the biggest buck I have ever seen in the wild came across my game cam at 1pm on a Wednesday during early bow season. One time deal, never seen again. [/QUOTE]
