I like to be set upand inmy climber waiting a good half hour before light. Just this morning as I was walking back around 10:30 a warden drives up on the service lane after he sees me crossing a field to it and one of the first things he says is "your out a little early this morning". I don't know if he drove into the parking lot of the public hunting grounds after I left or how he knew. I says "yup, it takes a while to set up my climber and I like to watch the woods wake up". Then he went on with chit chat. The conversation ended at out a little early because he noticed that my bow was in a case. Here we can't have a bow uncased any earlier than 30 minutes before season. I had my wife make a light weight fabric case just for the purpose of staying within the law.
I love watching the area come to life at dawn and don't want to have it still settling down from my intrusion.
Happy Hunting
Dan
