Ok, i am sure this has been discussed before... WHAT TIME DO YOU GET TO YOUR STAND???

[Ksmirk]

I'm odd! I don't get there until 8:00am or so and when everyone is leaveing thier stands that got there before daylight they move the deer to me

When out in Western Ok I get there pretty early so I can get set up and ready.

Last year pretty much just walked across the street from the house but won't be doing that this year :-(

Really depends on where I am as to when I'll get to my stand, had a place out in Woodward several years ago there was no reason to get up early you wouldn't see a single deer until after 1:00pm. Later,

I absolutly love being in the stand an hour or more before legal light.
I get to watch the neighbors running down the road in their utv's and 4 wheelers that the deer havent heard all year, bolt and run onto me.

Farmers know that deer don't even give a second look to a tractor making rounds in a field.

They would better off riding their atv's on the property all year long to condition the deer to that noise, and make it something they are used to hearing.

I usually try and get there at least 30 minutes before legal shooting time. It's a lot easier to do before daylight savings rolls the time back an hour!

True. Just last week I was helping my neighbors haul some hay and out pops a group of 5 deer. They just grazed on the alfalfa, staying about 75-80 yards away from the truck as we made our way up and down the rows. A 2-ton truck and pop-up loader aren't exactly quiet either.
