I usually enter the woods first at just before sunup and then I hunt til around 12. Go back to camp take a nap and cook some food and re enter the woods at roughly 3 and hunt til sundown.

I usually try to be in my stand by 6:00 am, out by 9:30 - 10:00 am, back in by 3:00 pm. The later the season gets, the later that morning arrival time gets!

When I hunt in Maine, New Hampshire or Vt I hunt drom dawn to dusk without coming out. On my NY hunts we all come out for lunch and go to the PM hunt at around 1:30 to 2:00.

Default RE: what time do you go out in the day to hunt?

i'm normally walking away from my truck and to my stand at approximately 5 A.M. (i like to be in my stand an hour before sun up). i get out of my stand around 11 A.M. and go back for the afternoon hunt around 3 P.M. till after dark. sometimes i sit all day.
