Time in the morning...

[chausler]

30 min. Before light for me.

[whakm]

I like to get to my stand, set-up, situated, locked and loaded atleast 1 hour before light. Chance to listen to critters, look at the stars and cat-nap( I mean be perfectly still)

[Buckwheat]

I like to get in the stand and be set up and ready to roll at least 45 minutes before legal shooting time, regardless of the weather conditions. Doesnt always work that way, but that is my goal.

It depends... if I get to my hunting stand walking then no more than 30 minutes before sunlight but if I use a car a 60 minutes just in order to get things settled down allowing enough time for the animals to feel less nervous about the noise.

me, i do an hour before shooting and 30 minutes after shooting at night. my wife on the other hand sleeps in untill 10 am packs a lunch and a book and her music earphones and shoots all the big bucks at noon while all the guys are playing cards! lol!

[Bisch]

I like to be in the stand at least 1/2 an hour before dawn or an hour before legal shooting light.

This is what I do^^^^^

I'll be there approx an hour before daylight, clouds don't figure into my decision.....unless there's LOTS of rain comin' out of 'em

I go in anywhere from 30 min before timer goes off to as the timer is going off. I don't care I'm going back to sleep anyway

I am one that believes in the solunar tables and I believe I have seen verification of the 'high activity' times on numerous occasions. However, the dinner bell of my feeder going off is what really gets activity going.
So, I try to get to my stand 30 minutes before the feeder is set to go off (and I usually try to have it go off when it is light enough to be able to shoot). Sometimes there are deer lurking around the feeder as I arrive, sometimes they are just inside the woods waiting for the feeder to go off, sometimes they don't come around for a while.
But I base my arrival on the feeder timer.

same here, I like getting there early enough that no matter what happens I have ample time to get in setup and let the woods quiet back down for an hour or so before daylight, plus you can't beat a 50 degree mornin sitting in a ladder stand soakin it all in!

I'm with Justin on this.

I let my game cameras determine how early I will get there. For example, if I have some deer that are showing up 20 minutes before daylight waiting for the feeder to go off, I will try and get to my spot about 30 minutes before them but I limit it at getting there 1.5 hours before first light. I just don't want to bump them off the feeder when I get there but sometimes that is impossible as I have had deer come in more then a hour before first light and just bed down waiting for the feeder to go off. Last year I had a 3.5 year old 8 point that basically lived at my feeder and he would always be there when I showed up, I usually always put out some hand corn in my shooting lanes when I got there. This buck would let me get within 20 yards of him and as soon as I would get in the blind and sometimes before I would get in he would start eating corn. I guess he realized I wasn't going to shoot him.
