i get in about 2.5 hrs before last shooting light....if i dont have much time i will go to a stand along a field or somewhere quick.

This time of year??????

I wouldn't hesitate ONE BIT to get in there a couple hours before dark. Now...around here....THIS time of year....they're moving only right before dark.

I'm not a bowhunter but during ohio gun season November 26th-December 2nd we hunted every afternoon and we never saw anything until about an hour and a half before sun down. We started heading out at 1-1:30 but it was a waste of time so we took a little nap and went back later.

I've gotten in the tree as late as 4:15-4:30 the last couple of weeks and I've seen a good deal of deer. Yes I have bumped a few but since the time change I have to take advantage of every little bit of tree time I can get during the week.

Last night I was out about 3:30 and didn't see deer til 15 minutes b4 dark.

I like to be in my standno later then3pm.That is as long as everything works out. I have a spot that I'll go to when I feel its to late to get to my prime spots.

4:00 or even 4:30is OK if I can't get there sooner. I would try to get there earlier if I'm planning on using a climber.

Hmmm maybe I should check on my wife. Are you cat'in around DT? Asking these kind of questions could be unhealthy.

If I am going to hunt, I like to get in 4-5 hours before sundown. I only hunt on a military base and you have to pick up passes, drive to the spot...it is a process. So when I get a chance to hunt, even in the afternoon, I spend 4-5 hours.
