This x2.........only time that is beneficial hunting a field all day is when the rut is on, only then will you see a mature buck out in the open during daylight hours.
Deer usually leave the fields at first light and come to feed at last light. Contrary to popular belief, deer do not bed all day, they move around and travel a lot when in cover. When I used to guide, if I had a hunter that couldn't or wouldn't sit all day, I would ask him to sit from 10-3:00, a lot of bucks were killed in that time frame. These were stands in the woods and not on fields.
Personally I like hunting all day so I sit in the bush and If I get bored I still hunt.
IMMHO.......there are always exceptions.
