Usually an hour before the feeder goes off (feeder goes off 10 minutes after crack of dawn).....45 minutes minimum. Maybe a little more if its my first trip to that blind for the weekend and I plan on hunting it all weekend just to get my crap set up....camera, booster etc. I like to get all settled in myself, cool down from the walk in and then just sit back to get my mind right. I can check in with my buddies hunting across the state too via text. I open my curtains and the shooting window about 15 minutes before the feeder goes off. I like the quiet idle time before the hunt personally.

These are my thoughts as well. You can bump them at 4:30 the same as 6:30. I hate to use a flashlight coming in, and I’ll get my extra sleep in bed!

I used to always get in the stand 1-1.5 hours early and then nap. Now I try to get in the stand about 30-45 minutes before first light. I follow a road right up to my stand. I have found out that if I just walk normal I don't make as much noise as when I try to be quite. So I just walk straight to the stand and then I hand corn a gallon of corn between the stand and the feeder. I get into the stand and on a full moon morning I can see deer eating the hand corn before I am even set up in the stand.

I walk in at gray light and even set up my saddle at gray light. I am not hunting feeders though. Totally different game up here.
I learned this from a guy up her that has multiple Boone and Crocket bow killed deer on the wall. One this year on October 30th that went 211 and change.
I can see if there are deer in the cut corn or food plots and adjust my strategy instead of blowing them out.
