I've hunted with a lot of guys who come out of the woods as soon as the sun is up. By 8:00 am they are drinking coffee. The same guys don't crawl in a stand until about an hour before dark. Just curious as to what some of you others do.

I usually come out about 11, then go back out around 3 until dark.

During the early bow season, I usually stay until 10 or 11. Starting pre-rut I try to stay all day.

If it is during the rut, I come out at dark.

earlier season around 10:00 . later in the season i'll bring a lunch and stay a while

I take what I'll need to stay all day each time.
The season is only so long

Until legal hunting time is up or when visibility becomes unsafe to hunt in any longer, whichever comes first.

If I can hunt all day I get up about 4:30 AM and get into my stand well before daylight and sit til about 11:00 or 12:00 PM,go back home and eat a little,take a nap then go back out about 3:00 or 4:00 and stay until dark.

If I hunt after work I take a shower with all my scent free products,go out on the porch and dress outside with my scent-free clothes and hunt until dark.
