The worst part about hunting public land is figuring out what time you should get up to go hunt. The last time when I hunted on October 28th, I sat in the parking lot for over an hour and no other hunter showed. If I hadn't done that, I would have gotten out there and the parking lot would have been filled up. College kids are still in college, so we shouldn't have many hunters, however it is a Monday and not a Tuesday so I have a chance of getting and additional hunter or two. With a 6:33 shooting time, it takes me 30 minutes to setup and 30 minutes of letting everything calm down, means I need to be out there at least by 5:30, with a 1 hour drive, I need to leave the house no later than 4:30... I think I'll getup at 3:00, and that will give me a 1 hour wait in the parking lot. Thank goodness for the IPOD and old time radio.
