Just not worth it to burn a whole day by getting up that early around here. I shoot more birds after 12pm than I do before.

If it's a tough spot to get to I'll go in on the high and hunt the full tide change and go back out on the next high.

LOL. I try to get to my blind by 2 or 3am.

wow, that is early!
I get up about 5:30 and head out about a half hour later. Ducks and geese are not flying around my place until 6:40 or so.

Post by: steeleywhopper on October 09, 2008, 07:12:40 PM: In my past experience we used to get to the blind by 2 or 3am and wait for the guys that get there 2 minutes before shooting light to set up 40yards away from us. I have found it is more frustrating to get up early and burn a day. I like to get up around 9 or 10 and wait for the 2-3am crowd to leave. Usually you can have the field to yourself and some fine afternoon shooting.

Post by: BC CHASER on October 09, 2008, 08:19:12 PM: It depends on if we have ice or not. If we have ice we are normally out there 1 1/2 -2 hours before day break. If no ice 45 min.-1 hr. We set up our decoys and get settled in. One buddy is lucky if he gets to even shoot since he is always about 30-45min. late. When he comes out to the blind it normally takes him 20-30 min. to get to us because we make him hit the dirt when birds are locked on. Nothing better than a few buddies in the blind BSing.
