Question 75 Minutes To Hunt

If you could leave work and be in your stand for 75 minutes in the evening,would you do it everyday if you had the chance at this time of the season? If you do hunt for this amount of time or less in the evenings,how much success have you had?

I practice the 90 minute rule. If I can be in the stand and hunting with 90 mins of shooting time I do it. Especially this time of year.

If I get 60 minutes of shooting light once in the stand then I am in the woods provided I can get in there without pushing deer from their beds (i.e. take into account wind speed and direction). During the rut, anytime on stand is time well spent.

get in the woods man !

90 minutes is better then 24 hrs complaining.

60 minute minimum is a good rule........however strange things happen out there and you could be there for 5 minutes and get a slammer.

I go out every night from 3:45 to dark.

That's enough time for me to make it worth it, so yeah I'd hunt. But I would be careful not to overhunt any one stand. Also, where I am the winds chnage enough so that I can't hunt the same stand every day.

if you have a stand that you can get to quietly and not walk into deer then yes. I killed a 160" 13pt last year and couldnt get to my stand till 1 hr before dark

75 minutes a day is better than zero minutes a day.
Thats almost 9 hours a week & it only takes a second for em to walk into shooting range.

GO HUNT!

I think I answered my own question last night, I had a Doe 10 yards out a little after 6 last night. It was a bit on the small side so I let it walk,had I chosen a spot 80 yards north of where I was I would have had 2 mature Does to shoot at. I needed that encounter to remind me just how good it can be if you can get in place for a hour and a half hunt in the evening. I appreciate your encoragements to get out there,it was a good hunt.

As long as you think you won't bump one going in, the time on stand really doesn't matter IMO. I've had deer come in 10 minutes after taking the stand, so what does it matter how long you'll actually sit? If you have them patterned and know they'll probably be there about the time you're going on stand (e.g. entering a crop field or food plot), then I wouldn't risk it. It really all depends on your knowledge of that stand.
