What time do you get out of bed to bowhunt?

[Chuck7]

We are talking about getting out of bed and putting your stuff on. I'e done it so much I still wake uo early..During archery I get upbefore 3:30 and rush..I drive from my house to the WMA to be there at 4:45 AM It's 30 miles away

Depends on the legal shooting time. I have a cabin so I don't have a drive. I like to leave the cabin between 1 1/4 hours and 1 1/2 hours before shooting depending on distance to stand.

We have a camp on our property so I dont have to worry about long distance traveling.. its really a blessing when you think about it. But depending on before or after daylight savings time.. probably 2 hours before dawn? I voted 5-5 30.

Must be nice..

at 3:3o the alarm goes off...it's my Wild Turkey Alarm clock..

all my stuff is on the couch..I put my stuff on amd at 4:00 Am jump in the truck

I drive to the WMA which is about 45 minutes away 26 miles..

I check in ...drive to my spot..and hike a 1 1/2 miles through the swamp//

I sit and wait.and wait..and wait.

I have a 2+ hour drive so I have to get up pretty early to get there before the sun does,,,

I've gone in as late as 9:00AM for an all day sit (to keep from bumpind deer out).....and as "early" as 3:30AM (went straight from a night out and the hot tub with the wife.....to the shower and then to stand....lol).

I've got a spot I HAVE to go into, early. Early meaning at least 1.5hrs before shooting light (get ready Matt and Rob).

Early season....it's getting to be shooting light here around 6:20 or so....maybe a little later (I'm basing this off NOT being in the woods). We'll go into one spot around 5:00AM. Other spots....they're new to me. We'll likely err on the side of caution there, too.....and go in at the same time.

Since we'll be walking to most of these spots....but climbing, also.....we'll be up at 4:00AM. I live within 2 miles of everywhere I hunt.

Typically 3 hours before I want to be in the stand. I'm one of those people that have to have a big meal in me, maybe some coffee, and usually one or two # 2's. Then I double check pack and slowly sneak to my stand.

Noon to 1:00 then in the woods by 2-2:15,O-ya I like evening hunts more then am hunts.....

[Planter]

I have to know what time sunrise is b4 I know what time to hit the woods. All in all I am happy if the woods are as dark as my wifes heart when I'm settled in. It's just gotta be dark out and that hour before shooting light is a great time to be sitting and waiting..
