What time do you get yo your stand on Saturday morning?

[nomad_archer]

I will be up at my normal 530 but I wont be going to stand. I have to wait one more looooong week for hunting to open up in PA

[hortontoter]

I normally walk in just as day breaks. I don't like stumbling around in the dark, the boogie man might get me.

I like to get to my stand about 1hr before sunrise so I'm all settled in and any noise or disturbance I mite have made the deer have already forgotten about. (hopefully) lol

I like to be on stand at least an hour before sunrise. Nothing like watching the woods come alive.

I usually head in to the woods about an hour before sunrise. It takes me around twenty minutes or so to get to my stand. Then it takes me about ten minutes to get situated and comfy.

Depending where I'm hunting, I usually like to get into my stand 30-45 minutes before sunrise. That way everything should be settled down by the time the suns coming up.

I like to be at my stand at least 30+ minutes before shooting light
I like to walk in slow, and then get set up and be ready, and have a good 30 to 60 minutes of dark for things to calm down from me walking in
I know for a fact if I get in earlier, I always have deer going past me to bedding area's behind me
and about 60% of all deer are bedded up before day light, so morning where I hunt don't pull me like evenings do
I am not a morning person either add in I have a 40 minute walk to stand fro parking spot, and then a 25 minute drive to where I hunt
makes for very early wake up's
I tend to hunt more evenings !
BUt weekends,
I do more mornings
more to try to catch trespassers , than deer LOL

I like to be in my stand at a minimum of 45 mins before first light. With a 15 minute drive and hour walk in makes for an early morning. Man I can't wait.

I like to be in my blind as early as possible.....it gives me time to throw a couple of hot pockets in the portable microwave!

thats funny i get into my stand also about an hour before but i dont worry about the boogie man

[ManOfTheFall]

I like to be at my stand 45 minutes before shooting light. I like to be settled in no less than 1/2 hour before sunrise.

[Stickbowcrafter]

Like most of you, I like the 45-60 minute rule also.

[Stumpy]

Yep. 30 to 60 minutes before hand.

[Z7Mcclain92]

Depends on where, if I hunt near crops ill be in the tree at 5:30am if I hunt near a bedding area ill be in the tree at 4:30-5 am. I like to get my tree super early a lot of deer move that last hour of actual darkness.

Man, there is nothing that makes me more alive than being in the woods a good 90-120 minutes before sunrise....adrenaline pumps like never any other time....there is so much movement one hour before sunrise that I want to be situated perfectly before that moving around starts....you cannot see me, but you can only imagine all the stuff that's going on and the noises you hear that early is crazy. It's awesome. Like I said, I never feel more alive and closer to nature than those few hours. Makes for a tired day but man is it worth it. Now it's another story once it gets cold out, then I might skip the 2 hour rule and just get there an hour before sunrise but this time of year is so awesome to be in your stand as early as you can muster. Your won't be unhappy.

I got into my blind 45min before light this morning. Man the Owls were hooting like crazy! Now I know what happened to the squirrels :smile:
