How early to show up to the Turkey woods

Got to a spot last week at 3:45 am. On the way in, had a guy flashing his light at me. 2 full hours before legal shooting light!
Yeah sorry about that. J/k. Sometimes I'll be out there that early because I wake up and can't go back to sleep. I know I have to get up in an hour anyways. Mostly happens early in the season when excitement and hope is at its peak before you are reminded of the frustration of hunting wild animals?

That’s nuts! I don’t get it on public land b/c there gonna gobble wherever they’re at an hour/ish before sunrise. Then people are gonna creep from every direction...... I guess when it’s dark a flashlight is effective. But after daybreak...... I just try to get back into where I can hear a few spots & hope for the best. It’s always a crap shoot, I’d rather sleep in & show up 15-30 mins before gray light or nap at the gate.....
