It all depends on the spot for me. If im high on a hill in the morning I'll wait till about ten. And if im low on a food source in the afternoon i can get in a bit later (2-3 hour of day light) than if im sitting on a travel route (3-4 hours of daylight)

RE: how long do you sit
When I sit mornings, I try to be on stand about 15 to 30 minutes before legal shooting time, and I try to sit until 9:30 or 10:00. Afternoons I try to sit for about 3 hours. I find that anything more then 3 hours I get antsy, and start moving around too much, so at that point, I might just as well call it a day.

This time of year, maybe 4 hours in the evening, 3 hours in the morning. During the pre-rut and rut, all day if time permits. Seen lots of activity in late morning/early afternoon during this time of year.

RE: how long do you sit
This time of the year I stay till 930-10. And the evenings I get the at around 4-5 and stay till dark. I hunt the food source early season and the deer usually wont come in till right at dark. So alot of the time i will stay after dark to make sure the deer have cleared my plot!!
