I say get in your stand. You have a better chance in it than you do at home. I go anytime I can during the rut. You just never know what is going to happen.

I've been getting home at 5pm and in the stand by 5:20pmat leastthree nights a week for a few weeks now. I have two places nearby thatI can do that. They are not my best spots but one of them is pretty good. I won't go to my best spots unless I have time to go through my scent control routine and that is not possible after work. For me these after work hunts are really more about getting my kids inthe treestand with me before my serioushunting begins without them which actually starts tomorrow. Ken

I've done It and been successful, get your but out there!

Yep, I do it all the time, including this upcoming afternoon.
