We use pop up blinds a lot. I put them up the morning of a bow hunt. When gun season approaches I put them up 2 to 3 weeks before opening day and leave them until mid December. I think that's plenty of time for the animals to get used to them. My proof is a 12 pointer last year and a 14 pointer a 9 pointer the year before with numerous does.. My cousin shot them both. I shot the 9. I hardly ever move my tree stands. They stay up all year.

I think now is way too early to put up stands but if it gets you time in the woods go for it.. As usual just my opinion. Good luck with how ever you do it.
