RE: How early

I try to be in 45-60 minutes before first light. If they may be moving 20-30 minutes before light, I want to be all settled in and watching when they do.

RE: How early

I'm usually in the tree 45 minutes before "first light." First light is usually before legal shooting time. Get in there early, let things settle down, and just listen to the woods.

RE: How early

30-45 minutes is usually good for me just just enough time to get settled into the treeand quiet.
