I'm gonna get in the stand at 5am and stay till about 9....unless I shoot something at 730

5am? Why not just spend the night in the stand?

Boy thats a good question , especially when my deer take up residence from 10 a nite till around 7:30 hummmmmm

ill get in the stand about 545 and leave about 7 that evening.

1 hour before sunup & 1 hour before sundown. Unless the rut is on then I'll sit longer, especially if the weather is condusive to it. I love hunting the rut when it is cool and drizzly best!

6:30am saturday and 5:30am Sunday after time changes.

I am the same as BMD - 6:30 Saturday and 5:30 Sunday.

well, I always tried to get to the stand a hour before daylite, but with the cameras, I noticed that sometimes the deer got to the feeder a hour before daylite. So to be ahead of them now I go 2 hours before daylite and drink coffee till the sun comes up

I really like the camera, because I can wait and see if it is flashing before I approach the stand.

Sat - sunrise at 7:54, will be in blind shortly before 7.
sunset at 6:46, will be in blind before 5 (earlier than necessary but I like to be out there). Plus we've had more mid-late afternoon activity than usual lately.

Same as the others, 6:30 sat and 5:30 sunday. Saturday I plan on staying in the stand front dark til dark. Going to try it anyways. Taking a book, camera, food, water and pee jug, lol.

Saw 6 doe and 3 bucks from 10 to 1 today while bow hunting if that changes anyones mind

6:30 sounds good to me! It should start breaking day light around 7am if there aint any cloud cover!

6:30 is plenty dark still, them boyz that sit an hour are wild, i'd be snoring so loud ther deer wouldnt come in...not saying its a bad idea, just not for me...

6:30 will stay in until 12:00

I hunt from a high rack so it doesnt matter

No earlier than I have to till about 9

i'll get into my stand for the afternoon/evening hunt. Wont be there for the morning. Then sunday morning about 20 mins before sunup, till i get hungry or other hunters need a hand.

about 6 to 9 am, then 4:30 to dark, sometimes late morning to lunch depends on the weather.


Kill'em

Hope to make it to the stand an hour before sun up. I'm takin my sanmiches and unleaded beverages with me so I'll be there till dark.

I won't be there at 5:00... I like the sound of 6:30, thats about the time I've been getting to the stand.

Some of the best bucks i've killed have been mid-day

I will arrive with all of my glory around 5:15 am. It takes me about half hour to put all of my stuff in my blind. I'll stay all day. I love it when other huntere get out of their blinds in the mornings and start farting around their lease and go to camp. Usually they will end up pushing deer my way, so my mid day hunting is just as good as early and late. I'll drive my jeep to my blind tomorrow evening and load most of my things prior to the hunt. I have all kinds of storage in my blind. I only have a front window so I have 3 walls to hang stuff on. Taking lots of equipment works out good for me. I'm retired and I'll hunt for a couple of weeks at a time. None of this matters, about what time I get there, because 10 min prior to daylight I have to get out and remove the pressure on my gut. Every day when I'm in the woods before daylight my butt butters up and starts talking to me with noises that still make me laugh. But that is part of hunting. Do any of you carry a bucket to use in your blind? I've been thinking about having a 5 gal bucket with a lid to use. I've wondered if it would work?

Before sun up and sit all day till after the sun goes down, unless its hot and nothing is moving, then I walk around till time to get back in the stand.
