Default RE: Disadvantages to getting to stand REALLY early?

I am often at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Many of my stands are in areas where I have to walk through ag fields to get to them.

If I try to get to my stands in the dark I will likely walk into alot of deer that I just can't see. This can ruin a hunt before it even starts.

So I often wait until the sun is coming up so I can see if any deer are still in the fields and is safe for me to get to my stand.

Many of the bucks that I have shot have been mid to late morning so this strategy has worked well for me.
