Whitetail, is all there is here in Oklahoma.
I read some statistics a couple years ago about what time of day whitetail bucks were killed here. The numbers were pretty staggering, over 85% were killed within 15 minutes before or after sun up and within 15 minutes before and after sunset. The rest were scattered randomly through the day. I have seen probably 2 to 1 at around sunset, to first light.

When hunting mule deer in the Methow you can here shots any time of day. Not so much here in Whitetail country.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1

  The best days for the late season is what I was looking for ( I have heard post rut December over food plot is better than pre rut)?  and what tactics to use (rattling, sent, bait?).

That post rut is spotty and inconsistent. If it’s dry and warm it’s terrible . Really need cold and snow for post rut on food to be good
