Also dont worry about other places now. Hunt the sign you've found and if there is fresh sign then stick to it.

Great, thanks for that - two things I will need discipline on: staying put and moving slow. Patience. Good. I'm up for the challenge. Cheers ducktoller!

It all depends on your location when it comes to how important first light is. Only way to know is run cams or hunt it enough
personally I have shot a lot of mid day deer but also first and last light as well. You never know that is why I hunt all day
I have found out over my years hunting that deer hunting times are unpredictable at times I have hunted deer first light and saw nothing
At times I hunt deer latter in the morning and saw deer more than first light same day.
My thoughts on why different movement early morning or hunting latter is the moon faze ,how cold it is the rut ,,what the weather is doing
at the time you hunt them..

Hunting Elk Is All About Finding Them ,If You Can't Find Them Keep Trying ..
During the rut the bucks are active 24 hours a day.While I always tried to be out for first light, most of my deer were shot between 10 and 11

I dont think ive ever killed anything at first light, most success for me is usually after 10am
Weve killed more moose then deer at first light over the yrs,and bears in the late afternoon.Most deer kills have been between 9am and 11am,includeing this yrs mulie

Studies have shown some of the biggest bucks have been gotten between 10.00Am and 2:00pm and this is attributed to a conditioned response to the lower amount of human activity in the woods during this time period.
