RE: Disadvantages to getting to stand REALLY early?
For me...I'm in a WMA..I don't want anyone to know where I hunt..so I high tail it through the swamp..I'm usually the first at the gate..I drive fast down the dirt roads..Get my stuff and head out..I walk the first 1/4 mile with no light so other hunters won't see me...My tacks are spaced good . My Summit will be waiting on me locked up...Once at my tree I take my time to make zero noise..My thermacell is on..and i usually hear deer as soon as I get still...they are moving in to bed..
disadvantages....none..I take a little nap..
