Default what will all the rain do to my spot

ok i found a good spot off a creek as some of you know.
I scouted it about a month after we got alot of rain and the creek has flooded. There was a trail that had tons of tracks.
I scouted it again in early aug. less fresh tracks and the water was about 4 inchs deep. I hang my stand up last Monday. a few tracks but not alot like the first time. Though i think it will be a good spot right off a field and a thick bedding area with scraps Right the other side of the creek by the bedding area.
Well the last few day it has rained hard. the creek is about 1 foot or 2 from flooding out again. And there is 30% chance rain tonight and a big chance of it tomorrow.
If the creek floods or alteast stays high for a week or so will they stop using the trail thus killing my chances of getting a deer there.

Also the tree my stand is on is right in the edge of the bank is there a chance the creek flooding might hurt my stand or bend the ladder. I stuck the ladder in the ground up to the mud rail and it is tight to the tree.
Also the creek does not move fast just a flat Indiana creek .

I think the crossing will be fine, just give it a little time. Also if you do not have a lot of activity at that crossing. I would back off an find afood source. Just a thought.

well there is some activity just not as much as in early aug. I did noticed most all of the trail had less activity. in fact normally when i go scouting or just out driving the fish and wildlife area. i see tons of deer in the food plot and bean fields. not as much in the last three weeks. seems there staying back away from the road open field and any area where people walk. That is why i bought a pop up blind. I have one spot that is about 1 1/2 mile in the woods but it is a area they plowed down for some reason now it has 4 foot weeds with 4 foot wide paths cut through it all over.
Last year in Jan i was hunting for tree rats and found the area i saw about 10 year across the clearing but did not want to spook them and it would have meant a 1/2 mile stalk across alot of open land down hill from them.
funny thing is the area with the weeds open clearing and path reminded me off the walk through the grass is thethird Jurassic park movie
