Hunting in the mountains of east TN, it can sometimes be detrimental to get in so early. The thermals sink down the mountains and into the valleys. I've hand several deer wind me below my stand as I'm waiting for the sun to come up.

I like to be in there 20-30 before legal light, but sometimes that doesn't happen.

30-60 minutes before shooting light
all depends on what is going on and how far i have to walk in

when i can get there in reality, in theory i try to be there 10-15mins before legal shooting time for the most part. During firearm season I sometimes delay my walk until i can make out shapes giving me the option to hunt AS i walk to the stand.

Wear and use the green lights. Deer can't see them. the white lights will spook them.

I usually fire tack my way to my tree b4 season starts, and use a red or green light. I try to get there at least 30 min to an hour b4 it gets light.
