I usually get in a rut in late season (mid Dec.here) and start sleeping till 6 or 7 AM.
So I get up at 7 say and go get on stand about 9 to 9:30 and am usually seeing deer within an hour or so. I have found that the deer have patterned the hunters and started moving mid mornings when most everyone has left the field.
I hope you find the thrill of the hunt again soon.
