What time should I be in my tree stand? I was thinking 30 minutes before first morning light at least. Also what time does is first light in the A.M in East Tennessee?

I'll be in my stand when its light enough to see deer....probably by 6:45....Killed most of my morning deer between 8 and 10....

I try to be on stand 30 minutes before legal shooting light, which is 30 minutes before sunrise. So I try to be on stand 1 hour before sunrise.

Opening weekend I like to get in early. Either you crack the, at first light or plan on sitting till the second deer movement which is usually around 10 Amish till 11:30 . Long wait between then.

I'm getting up at 5:35. Plan walking in about half an hour before legal shooting time. I have only climbed up my stand once this year. i have a new camera mount to attach to the tree so I wan a little extra time.
