How Early?

How long before or after day break do you get into your tree stands? At what time do you afternoon stand hunters climb into your stands?

I like to be in stand well before shooting light. If I come down for a mid day lunch with Swede I’m usually back in no later than 2:30 pm.

I like to be in in the morning before day light and listen for animals moving around. I like hearing the woods come alive. I have also shot a few right at first light so that compels me to get up early.

Swede- I owe you a call. Haven’t forgot it’s just been a long week and haven’t had a chance. But will soon.

My mule deer stand I was in 2 hours before shooting.
