I hunted out of my summit, this morning....and I got up pretty quietly. Thing is....if you think about it....aren't you supposed to beat them to the spot, anyways? Isn't that one of the reason you go in early?.......get there before they do??

Unless you're making a big fuss.....or right on top of their bedding area (which really shouldn't matter in the morning, either,......unless they're already home).

Don't sweat it. Leave a little early and take your time.

I don't know if I qualify as a "veteran".....(as I've only been bowhunting 3 years...4 seasons).....but I've climbed probably 140 times in that time.......120 or so of those have been in a summit.
