Jimmy S,

Cant have a loaded weapon here in MN before legal shooting hours. 1/2 hour before surise and 1/2 hour after sunset. You can however go to your stand as early as you want. I personally like to leave well before light 1-2 hours, just because I am deep in the bush, 1 mile or so, not quite. That can be a challenge in itself and by the time I get out there and all set up the sunrise is close.
