How Early to be in the woods?

Can't really say anything different than what you all said. We always bivy so we generally leave camp about an hour before light. We enjoy a fire at camp so we usually camp a mile or two away from the edge of the area we like to hunt. But even with a campfire, we still have had elk walk through camp at night. Plus I like to walk a mile or better to start my day. Gets me warmed up. That way when I have to sneak up to that screaming bull I don't get chilled. I dress very light. Usually for the afternoon temps so I don't have to carry clothes all day in my pack. Just my take on it.
