And what's wrong with walking? I get in my stand and 45 minutes later I hear ATVs all over the place. I know one guy that parks under his stand! Walk back and get the ATV after you knock one down.

An exact time is tough because it depends on where you are in the country and what time of the year. For me, 45 minuntes. Gives me time to have a little coffee, settle in and listen to whats happening around me.

I try to get out as early as possiable , it's a rather long walk to get to either one of my stands.

I also like to get to my stand 45 min before shooting light. It gives me plenty of time to get set up and cooled down from the walk in, and gives the woods time to settle down from me walking in. The biggest deer I have ever killed, a 7 pt with 221/2" inside spread, came by my stand @ 6:30 a.m. So I want to be good and ready when its light enough to see.

The earlier the better, but at least 30 minutes before it starts to lighten up.

I'm normally in the 5:45-6:15 area. Depends on if I leave a little early or just a bit late.
