Me too. I don't get the need for earlier. I guess if you have to beat a buck there you can always listen to him walk by you while you sit there in the dark...LOL.

In all seriousness though...I want to get in quickly, and quietly, without spending extra non-hunting time in stand giving any early passers the chance to detect me. I feel if I bump a deer getting there (before legal shooting time)the chance of me getting a shot at it was slim anyways.
