RE: Morning Hunts
I try to get there as early as possible as GMMAT suggests. I have spooked a couple of deer on my way to stand/blind, ususally not far from bedding areas a half hour to an hour before first light and I don't like it. In the blind, it's easy enough to take a light snooze and my two man ladders make it easy enough to rest quietly for that time. If you're hunting near bedding areas, which can be done right, you need to get in there plenty early for morning hunts.
