What time of day are most of your shots on Elk?

The vast majority for me have been in the first two hours of the day. None over the midday and only a few in the evening. I’m not a fan of breaking down a bull solo in the dark with just a headlamp.

Rifle kills have been all before noon, archery kills all have been after 3 p.m. Never killed anything between 12-3.
 
By 11 a.m. for most of my Sons & Myself. These are bow killed elk. A few afternoon but a very small percentage. The vast majority are taken in their bedding area, nearly all called in, a couple we were able to slip in silently. We hunt timbered country for the most part so glassing is basically out of the question.
