Some of you guys are nuts! You can shoot until 8:00 in the evening around here in early Oct., but some of you have stated you get back into the stand around 2:30, 3:00. Thats a long sit. I have multiples cameras on my property on connecting trails to feeding and bedding areas, and it' s common to catch movement around 2 hours before dark, and in the middle of the day, but the big boys are always very early, and very late.

I guess I should re-phrase the question....What' s the latest you guys have taken mature bucks in the morning, early season only(Mid-sept to early Oct.)? I think I do what a lot of you guys do. I usually sit for around 3 hours after sun-up(I' m in my stand 45min to an hour before), but sometimes I get out earlier if nothing is going on, and sometimes later if for some reason I think I still have a chance at a mature buck. Later in the season-late Oct, to mid-Nov, I' ll stay all day sometimes, if I have a comfortable stand. Basically I' m in the stands at that time as long as my rear-end and back can stand it, usually based on the quality of the stand.
