Grant,
How many hours per day do you spend in a stand during the rut?

Thanks for the help,
Dan

Dan,

It depends on weather conditions, hunting pressure, etc.  If the temperature is normal or colder and the wind is at least seven miles per hour and consistently from one direction I’ll  hunt all day.  If the temperatures are warmer than normal and/or the wind is mild and/or swirling I’ll usually only hunt the early morning and late evenings when the thermals are predictable.  

Enjoy creation,
