what is latest time you get in Treestand?
I am wondering how late do you get into treestand before end of legal time on evening hunt? Foe example if time ends at 443 and you can't get there till 330, is it worth it?
Thanks

Depends when they are coming in...I try to get there at least 2hrs to 2.5 hrs before last shooting light. I just rather be ahead of them coming in rather than jump them and waiting for them to come back in...That's when a game cam is invaluable to get the times...

You are never gonna know unless you get in the stand. No matter what time and how late or early you think you are. I've been busted by getting in my stand with my bow half way up in the air. Never know when they will come by.

Get there when you can get there, you never know, you may be too late or you may be just in time. I few years ago, I went to my stand at about 4:15 had about 45 minutes of day light, got situated, rattled, grunted, I had a nine pointer run to me and I was done. 20 minutes on the stand. It was November 4th. Totally a rutting buck. This time of year you just never know.

I have had deer come out at 2:30 I have had deer come out at sunset. You never know. I killed a nice buck last year at 3pm on a beanfield. I have had deer move at 2:30 in the woods.
Normal clock I am in the stand @4. Setback I am in the stand at 2:30.

One thing is certain. If you are in the woods hunting you have a chance. If you aren't you have no chance.
Hunt every minute you can, even if you think the odds are against you.
They ain't going to walk into camp and surrender.
