    No time spent hunting is a waste of time mate. The deer are there no matter the time or weather. I see deer regularly at all times of the day

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    +1 What this legend said. Bushstalking the deer are in the bush all times of the day. I always start at first light and hunt until ive had enough or shot one. Most deer i shoot are around 10-12 in morning but have shot and seen deer first thing, middle of day, mid afternoon and late afternoon. Summer time best to hunt flats and nice terrances close to flats and feed areas first thing in the morning. Look at creek heads as the day gets on. Winter head for the north facing sunny faces and hunt the areas where the heavy sign is as deer dont move far in winter. So i recken a good plan is hunt first thing in the morning and hunt as long as your legs will carry you etc and cover the ground. In the afternoon, late afternoon thats a good time to glass flats up high and likely looking ridges and try spot deer that start moving around later in the day.
    Worth going for a walk anytime of the day thou as you not going to get one on the couch
