I always get situated at least 30 minutes before shooting light. I walk In either in the dark or by use of green pinlight. I have Walked within 10 yds of deer with that light.

I would Rather be in my stand when light approaches as opposed to walking in to my stand. Gives my scent time to settle and let the woods awake. I have Shot several deer within minutes of daybreak. If I had Been walking in I may Have never known they were there, much less shot one.
