What time are hunting?

I had someone make a remark recently that made me think. Hunting elk in the west, what time are you hunting in the morning. I want to be hunting at legal shooting light. I have been in the situation where it was too early for a shot and I didn’t like it. I also have been in the situation where I had to wait out some elk to not blow them out well before light. So now my strategy is to be starting to hunt at legal shooting. I don’t head out at 4am or earlier to be going thru the woods trying to hear bugling or locating. I like to do that at last light and follow up in the morning.

What is other people doing?

I'm where I want to be an hour before light.
