How long do y'all..

[JHarrell89]

i grew up hunting with my dad who was ADD, so we were usually ready to go by 8:30-9. I have since been trying to stay out till at least 10, even if it means me walking and stalking for another 30mins to an hour. but some days its just smart to get down early. like in a lightning storm or tornado lol. if the wife is occupied and doing an activity then i have no problem staying out a bit later, but if its Saturday, i feel a little selfish to stay too long. What time are y'all getting to the stand? i get set about 6:00

At least 11am. I am pretty shocked to see how early some off y'all get out (especially before 930). What is ironical about this is as late as I sit (even as a young teenager) I think I can count on one hand the number off deer I have got after 830 :

Depends on when and where. Sometimes all day, other times, just until the corn is gone.

How long do y'all stay in the stand in the mornings? What time do you usually leave the stand?

I try to hunt as long as I can. No set time to get down unless a prior commitment dictates it. Ive waited all year for the season to get here, Im in no hurry to leave.

I have wondered this too, I get down around 9 cause my ADD won't allow me to stay longer. Not sure how I would handle a all day hunt.

Ritalin makes a world of difference lol and I'm not joking.

I've seen a lot of deer at noon. The deer pattern the hunters ... they aren't stupid.

11:00, at least. If I don't see deer until 10:30 or so I'll sit to noon if I'm feeling it!

Been many days I don't see deer moving until 10:00 or just before.

I guess different parts of the state where 10+ deer come out when the feeder goes off its easier to pattern.

It's been my experience that it's not like that in east tx.

Of the 3 good deer I've ever killed one was a evening hunt shot about 30 min before legal light ended. On the two morning hunts one came out at 10:00, the other came out @ 10:35. Both where during the rut that is usually the last week of bow season and 1st week of gun season.

I am a union worker. Must be out by 9am for break.

9:30 to ten. If I had a more comfortable chair I could make all day. I shot a doe at 11 today though.

When no one is relaying on me to haul them to and from camp I can sit a long time.

When hunting in East Texas I usually sit until 11:30 but have had made it much longer.

On my Menard deer lease- once all the corn is gone the deer flee the scene until evening time so no use sitting there over bare dirt.
Sometimes I'll retrip the feeder and draw some young ones back out but have yet to see much to make it worth staying late.
