RE: What time do you get on stand for the afternoon?
Early in the season, I like to be on the stand 3 hours before sunset. In the two weeks closest to the rut, I like to on by noon, (6 hours before sunset). Late season I like to be there 2 hours before sunset. For some reason in late season the area I hunt the deer just move an hour before dark. Its also a heck of alot easier to stay warm for only two hours!!!!!!
Good Luck!!
