My afternoon hunts consist of watching football and cooking so sometime around 2:30 is usually a good starting point.

After time changes, 2:30ish.
Around 4 on sundays, gotta have that afternoon nap.

Usually try to be on the stand by 3... but depending on which stand I'm hunting, the weather, what football games are on, and stuff like that it could be earlier or later.

About 3 hours before sunset so 3:30-4:00 before time changes, 2:00-2:30 after.

Head towards stand at 3 with the intention of getting on the stand right at 3:30.

I would go crazy. I like to bullshite and cut up way to much to sit alone all day waiting for a goat to walk out.

Sunset isnt till aroung 6:45 right now and you get 30 min of light after that. This time of year 3:30 at the earliest. The later the season the earlier I go

I used to amble back into the woods @ 3:00.
Couple years back had an 80 deg afternoon during the first week of November. Wasn't going to even go, even though I was off all week. Changed my mind, drug my hot sweaty arse up the tree on a creek by a swamp. Didn't even bother with the scentlok etc...just doing a long sleeve t-shirt that was half covered in sweat by the time my climber hit 20 ft up. Said frick this, what a waste of time. As I was wiping off the sweat heard a lone deer coming through the leaves. Laughing under my breathe I turned expecting to see a spike/button buck that didn't have the common sense to wait for dusk on this miserably hot Novemeber afternoon.
What I saw was a 140 -class 8 point walking down the old logging road without a care in the world.
Walked by at 33 steps, stopped and grabbed a long drink of water and then walked off just as I had gotten my bow pulled up, arrow nocked and release on.
Came back 20 minutes later on other side of creek (no shot) and proceeded to bed down at 63 yds. I could have gotten an arrow to his hams and hoped for a femoral artery hit, but decided I wouldn't risk it, just too much brush in the way.
He gets up after bedding down for 10 minutes and cruises away. Came by two other times that evening chasing a doe, once at 40 yds and around 100 yds away right at dusk.:banghead: :banghead:
Moral to the story... weather be damned... I will be on stand and ready no later than 2:30 on any afternoon hunt and probably earlier during the rut.

moral of my story is the more time your arse is in the stand the better chance of being there when one comes by
