I am with the rest of these guys...during gun I get set up in the stand at least an hour-45 minutes before legal shooting time..so about 6am. For bow I have yet to go in the morning..but it varies from about 2pm-4pm depending on the time of year. I am going to try out the mornings though..this friday with the gun was the first time I have had a buck respond to my grunt calling blindly. Pretty fun stuff, ended up just being a fork, but him crashing through the woods to find out who was out there still got the heart pumpin. He came out ready to fight too, it was fun to watch.
