What would you do?
 

with the set back in time it really puts a hurtin on my evening hunting... heres the deal.. i get off work at 2:30... if i really hurried i could get in the tree by 3:30 being that it gets dark at 5 now would you try to get in the woods or think your doin to much harm walkin in an out for one 90 minutes or so...? maybe im jus crazy but i think id be doin more harm than good for very lil time to hunt...

If there's a chance to bump a lot of deer, I'd say don't go. But if you can possibly get in there semi-undetected, I'd say go for it. It only takes 5-10 minutes for that big one to walk by!

This is about the minimum time out for me to risk it, but I am very careful going out and if things are active, I back out. Go for it and good luck!

Dave - try it a couple of times to see if it works for you.

RE: What would you do?
 

the deer around here usually dont start moving until sunset so go for it

I get off work most daysat 5:00p.m. I hit my stand at 5:30 central time last Monday and scored my biggest bow buck ever about 20 minutes later. I say this time of year spend every second you can in your stand as long as you're not bumping deer going in.
