Just looking for info,when the main rut is over how do you approach your hunting?
Do you just hunt morning and night ,do you hunt during the day, what works for you?

Where I'm located.
After the rut I spend a few days in the stand morning, noon, and eveing.
I hunt more in the oaks.
Deer eat an average of 3 times a day.
So I hit where they feed.
See what changes they have made in the routine
May my aim be true and my arrow fly straight

..Ditto on that!...they lost a lot of weight chasing their girlfriends around. Now they eat as much as possible!

I bait heavier and hunt right at legal shooting time. They don't move much before that in my area. Too much pressure last week.

here where we hunt the later in the season and the colder the better. it,s all about (corn , corn,corn!!!!!) we do our best at dusk watching over the corn fields and see bucks we never seen before.have killed most of our largest bucks in the later part of the season.when it gets cold seems like they must have the corn.

Work dictates that I hunt in the evening. Trail cams are showing deer early morning and just after sunset where I hunt. I do a few all day hunts here and there when I can but my success has always come just at last light.
