30 minutes before sunrise begins legal shooting hours here. I always try to be setup in my treestand at least 30-45 min before I can shoot.
Very cool to see the sky turn from black to light blue as dawn approaches. Plus the excitement as the woods come alive.

The absolute best time of the day for me. Even though I cannot shoot when it's still dark and I must wait, it's a great feeling just knowing I am ready
and full of anticipation.
