How early
Do you get onto stand a hour early? More or less. I get in about 1 1/2 hours early. How about you?
I like to be in the stand at leas 1/2 hour before shooting light. Sometimes up to an hour depending on conditons.

ditto - I don't see a need to be in the stand too early. Especially if you can sneak in quietly. Now with a climbing stand that's different. Then I would say at least 1/2 hr early.
Then again,I recall one instance where I was hooking up my stand to the tree and getting ready to climb when 2 buck ran right into me (in the dark) and stayed around as I climbed the tree. They must have thought I sounded like two other buck fighting is all I can think.

I try and get into the tree as early as I can, usually 1 - 1 1/2 hrs before light, reason being I have had deer follow my trail in sniffing the ground, even with rubber knee highs on and scent blockers and cover scents before. They may or may not have know what they were tracking but they came right to the stand and tree! And some of the areas I have hunted I have snuck right into their bedrooms and set up. To me each situation and set up is different but if I'm hunting I'm hunting and a extra hour in stand is worth it to bust a big buck, just my two cents worth.
