It's funny you should as the question like that. Most everyone is worried about not getting them out soon enough. I like mine to be a couple of weeks early (2-3 weeks) much more than that I get worried some will take them home with them[:'(]

don't really think it's ever too early to hang stands. Some people never even take them down. My season starts in about a month, and I just hung a stand last week. I don't havg many, since I use my climber 95% of the time. But I like to hang them anywhere from 5 minutes to one year early. Anywhere in there you should be okay, as long as you're quiet while putting them in.

I prefer to have all my scouting, all my stands hung and shooting lanes cut by late July. I've hunted the same land for about 5 years now, so there's really no new scouting I can do other than a trail moving 10-20 feet either way. All I do is do some long distance scouting from July till opener in Sept.
