Stand/Blind time is anytime - and I'm sure most of you have your area well scouted and kind of have an idea where the deer funnel trough or which way they are most likely to move. A well placed stand maybe takes a little more work, but it's worth it.
Wind is the overall factor determining and overruling everything in my mind. There absolutely no point moving into an area (or towards your blind or stand) if the wind is at your back.
It seems to me deer move into/out of more predictable areas and more predictable directions dawn and dusk (leaving from beds to fields and vice versa in the morning) but there seems to be fair amount of movement, usually in (or along) cover mid day.
I have taken many deer mid day when I'm just about to give up and move on (or I'm having my sandwich and coffee out of the thermos).
