I don't start walking in until it starts breaking daylight. I don't like sitting in the stand and hearing deer walking around my stand without me being able to see them. I would much rather them go on through before I get there without any possibility of them winding me or me messing em up somehow. I normally get to my stand about 5 min after you can see to shoot. I have never had any problem of deer being by my stand when I get there. And I have killed a big buck for the past 6 yrs like this so I don't have any reason to change. And plus I don't care too much about walking around in the dark.

I like to be set up and ready 15 to 20 minutes before it starts getting light. I think getting in earlier would be even better but sometimes I just can not get myself going. I have a buddy that swears its a waste of time because he never sees deer early in the morning.My response was maybe because your going up the tree in the daylight and you busted all the deer off walking in.

I usually try to get set up and sitting down quiet by at least 30 min. before legal shooting light. I've never had a problem with deer coming thru and winding me.

Agreed. The more I learn about hunting, the earlier I believe you should arrive at your stand.

Ditto in most cases, occasionally earlier or later in unique situations.
