Default what time do you get on stand?

what time do you usually get on stand in the morning? on opening day i like to be in about 45 minutes before sunrise. i know this is cutting it close, but my stand is in an area where the deer wont be moving through until about an hour after sunrise. the rest of the season i will usually get out a little later.

58 days till opener!!!!

Well, in Michigan we can hunt 1/2 hour before sunrise, so I'm usually in my stand 45-50 minutes before. On opening day of gun I like to get out there about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 befor sunrise.

I like to be in my stand at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours before sunrise on opening day, after that I will be in my stand about a hour before sun up. that way It gives the woods time to settel back down.

During gun season, i wait until i can see just enought to shoot before i head in to my blind. i mean,you could be bumping deer adn not even seem them. i still hunt in. bow season, im in stand a half hour before it starts getting light.

I like getting in the stand about 1 1/2 or so before sunrise. Gives me plenty of time to get situated and let the woods settle down. The only downfall is that a lot of times, I'll get deer milling around me before light. I can only imagine how big he is!
