    Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour tomorrow night. Nothing worse than waking up an hour late to be on stand Sunday morning. It always happens to someone.

    Nice reminder.
    I thought you were going to say:
    The guy who pulls his piece of van, with NO muffler into the fire break I am hunting Around sunrise, then sees my flashlight shinning at him, then backs up with..a reverse beeper, and drives off.
    Or something like that. always one like that opening day of gun season in WI public land.

    I do use my phone and meant to put a question about it.

    Has android ever had the issue of the time change like the iphone did? Iphone screwed me for work a few years ago because of it. Now I always set an alarm clock for good measure for the fall back when hunting

    I dont think it would matter? If I know I have to be in the woods at 6am, and I forgot to set my clock back it would really be 5am but I am still going to be on time because it's not going to get daylight any sooner. Is my thinking correct
    or am I losing my mind?

    My android devices have always set the correct time right on the money, right on time. Every time.

    Not for sunrise, 2 am comes twice. Sunrise here would be 7:2? Tomorrow but it will be 6:2? Sunday morning.

    Now you have me confused. Maybe it's don't forget to set your alarm an hour earlier

    You'd be an hour early for work though.

    I don't base my stand arrival on what a clock reads, I base it on sunrise...sunrise will stay about the same whether I remember to turn my clock back or not. If it doesn't then I probably won't be in a position to worry about being late.

    I think it's some.forget to set their alarms an hour early when time is adjusted. Just know there's always a few that get bit by it.

    It's really both, you have to set your clocks back an hour, there fore sunrise will come an hour earlier so you also need to adjust your alarm accordingly....

    This is never an issue for Pa hunters, as we STILL can't hunt Sundays. Are we in the Dark Ages or what?

    WAKE UP PA!!!!!!!!

    Spring forward, fall back. If you forget to set your clocks Saturday night you will wake up an hour early, not late

    But, if you use your phone and don't adjust your alarm to accommodate you'll wake an hour late when the phone auto updates the time. Even a lot of alarm clocks auto set now.

    I won't change my clock until I get out of the woods Sunday. The sun comes up the same whether we trick ourselves to thinking the time is different or not.
