I am generally not a morning hunter early season either. However, I should add that I have one spot where bucks have been coming thru in the mornings. IF the winds are right, I will try this spot before they get too random in their travels.
Game plan? Some of the bucks I am after were hitting minerals and salt daily in June-July. This has changed. The killing spot I have picked out has gone from every few days to maybe every week to 10 days. My current game plan is to check the dates they have used this path. I will go back into historical data the last 2 months on Accuweather. I want to see if there is a pattern. If the days they used this path was before or after a front, at a specific moon phase, or possibly a specific wind direction, this will really narrow down which days I will be hunting this stand. That is as close to a game plan as I have at the moment. Otherwise, it is a matter of sneaking into and out of this stand as stealth like as I can and putting in seat time waiting for the right day for them to walk past.
