I head out into stand very early. As a matter a fact I even coined the phrase Germ early a few years back after a pm conversation with the man himself. Pleasant dude.

But there are times when getting in too early can be a poor choice. But it depends on many factors.. and luck.

One example.. a fair sized CRP field in between a food source and heavy daytime bed. Go in too early crossing that field and your gonna bump deer left and right as they are bedded in the grasses chewing cud. Go in after the sun-light begins there movement back into the woods and it will be smooth sailing to your stand.

Now you can say its a poor choice to even choose that route in the first place. But.. if the CRP field is used to the hunters advantage.. perhaps not?

Word my brothers and sisters... word.
