I may be a freak...but I'm not too religious about getting there at an hour before sunup. I have never killed a deer RIGHT at daylight...and usually don't do well until about 8 or so. It may be where I normally hunt...but that's been my experience. I do try to get in well before first light, but if not, I don't consider it a total loss.

I've actually killed many more in the evening...and will hold out until the last breath of daylight before giving up.
