I typically get up and go pretty quickly.. I hate sitting around in the cold so set my alarm before daybreak, I will open the tent door and either cook a feed or smash some muesli. Then all gear on in tent and hit the track. Normally in prime country within the first half hour of daylight or earlier. Often I will even camp within 50m of lookouts etc so I can roll straight to them on daybreak and glass while having a feed.
I can't remember the last time I stayed at a hut, just camp away in better areas and in turn less walking before starting the hunts. If moving camps I hunt the morning close to camp then come back at about mid day and move before heading back out for an evening. Means you can always hunt prime time.
