If there's a chance to bump a lot of deer, I'd say don't go. But if you can possibly get in there semi-undetected, I'd say go for it. It only takes 5-10 minutes for that big one to walk by!

This is about the minimum time out for me to risk it, but I am very careful going out and if things are active, I back out. Go for it and good luck!

Dave - try it a couple of times to see if it works for you.

I get off work most daysat 5:00p.m. I hit my stand at 5:30 central time last Monday and scored my biggest bow buck ever about 20 minutes later. I say this time of year spend every second you can in your stand as long as you're not bumping deer going in.
