I'm curious. How early do we get to our stands in the mornings? Personally, I like to get there and be "ready" to go no less than 1 hour before shooting light. I like to let the woods settle. That's just me though. How about you guys? Thanks!

Im usually in the stand 30 min before shooting light

I'd say about an hour. But if your there 30 min. to an hour, you'll be ok. That gives it enough time to settle down.

I have found over the years I spook way less game going in when it is light out. I have had deer watch me get into my stand and not spook.

Around an hour or so. Then I just gaze at stars and such...being that I was an Astronomy geek in high school and college.

Ya know, I heard someone on one of the hunting shows say this and at the time I thought he was out of his mind! But I actually tried it once and you know what? I actually did make less noise than when I usually go in the woods.

I like to be on stand 45 minutes prior to shooting light. Other mornings, probably just like many of you, I am moving quickly to get set up just 15-20 minutes before shooting light.

That was me this morning...running late. Didn't spook any out on the way in - and didn't see any on stand. Guess I shoulda slept in...

I try to be about 30-45 mins, depending on the stand.

I go thirty minutes befor sun lite.
