I have shot bears up high in August when its been in the 90's but its been near water and right in the middle of the day ...now come September when I prefer to bear hunt it is good all day long ... when blueberries are ripe they are nothen but eaten machines ...I would say just hunt :tup:

Post by: rasbo on July 31, 2011, 04:59:06 PM: shot them at all times,but I like mornings for me...I really like when the thermals warm and move my scent up a drainage if Im in already in there during hot weather...

Post by: saylean on July 31, 2011, 05:12:00 PM: I like evening hunts (3 pm-ish on to dusk)...probably cause I dont like having to wake up a 330 am to beat the sunrise...

I've had lots of luck in the morning, I just prefer evenings. Im a night owl anyway.

Post by: D-Rock425 on July 31, 2011, 09:23:57 PM: I've killed more in the evenings but have seen plenty in the AM too. I might have killed more in evening because I'm able to hunt the evenings all week long.
