I usually try and stay in stand until 10am. It gets light around here at about 7am. Do you guys have a time that you shoot for?

i' ll get to my stand while it' s still dark, hang out til around noon, then i' ll get down for a couple of hours , but then i am heading back to it til dark......that is when i hunt all day

10 am is a minimum for me ....... if I' m dressed for the weather, I' ll try and stay out until closer to noon ...........

This year I got my doe at 8:40 am.

Early in the season I' ll get out around 10:00 or 10:30 then head back to the stand around 1:00 or 2:00, but come the end of October I usually stay all day. There is just to much daytime deer movement going on at that time of the year to be anywhere else but in the stand. You can' t get one if you are back at the house...Of course, I didn' t get one even though I stayed in the woods...[:' (]

ditto on that, i stay as long as i can bare it usually. Even if that means getting down and going for a little walk and then maybe sittin on a stump or somethin.

I sit until I really start hallucinating deer everywhere. I swear I can make a deer out of anything in the woods. Usually like the others 10:30 - 11 then back at 1:30- 2:00

In the EARLY season when it' s really warm, I' m headed down as soon as I read 9am on my watch. I move to 10 -10:30 when the time changes and then all-day from dark to dark for much of November.

I like to hunt until about 1030 or so but since Jerry Springer starts at 10 I try to get out of my stand by 930.

I wish I could stay longer than 10a. This is even a huge stretch for me for some reason. Maybe I would get more deer, but I can' t do it. I get back in the stand around 3-4. Maybe if they actually made a stand you can sit in all day, I would try it.

I try to stay until at least 10. However, it is getting real tough to stay that long anymore since the weather has turned cold. It' s hard to stay warm when the temp is in the single digits and there' s a brisk north wind[:' (].
