I try to get to my stand about 30-45 minutes before legal shooting light. So, that's 1-1.25 hrs before sunrise.
Deer start moving towards feeders about that time, so if you get in and settled they won't know you're there.
Of course, that's for bowhunting. For rifle stands, you probably have a little more lee-way.

I get ther at least an hour before legal time to not only allow the area to settle but for me to settle. I probably spend 15-20 minutes getting all of my crap out and situated the way I like it.

what about for spot and stalk? or does nobody do that for whitetails anymore?
i went out at daylight sat morning, ended up bagging a 13 pt on spot and stalk. i think i like that method a lot more than waiting at a feeder. a lot more work and satisfaction imo

Get in blind by 5:30am & 2:45pm. I may as well, I drove all the way there to hunt, not to sleep or lounge around camp!

At least an hour before daylight. Have something warm from the thermos. Mayby nap a bit. But mostly just letting things settle back down.

In the stand about 5 minutes before daylight and back in about 3. No use sitting there if you can see anything.
