I've heard hunters complain that they dislike walking through the dark woods. I'll be the first to admit that it can sometimes be spooky, but I love it.

It depends on where I'm hunting. If I'm hunting a bedding area I'd like to be there an hour before light. If I'm hunting feeding or transition areas, I go in right at daylight. I have walked up on two bucks this year that were in food plots on my way to the stand. In both cases I was able to wait until the deer moved on naturally without spooking them. I hunt my way to the stand and have killed several before I ever reach it.
