I like the Early AM, the Earlier the better. imo. I like to get into my treestand WAY WAY WAY before light, bungee strap myself against the tree set my cell phone alarm for vibrate, check my saftey harness, and fall asleep.

Then by the time i wake up its still not light out and i am all ready to go and everything has had a good chance to settle down before anything happens.
