Default Need help with Path taking to stand

I think I have a good tree picked out for my stand. Bare with me here. It is in a wooded area, that is surrounded by bean fields and more bean fields. Within this is one large creek, and a little pond. Around this pond is a large vast of deer activity (Mostly tracks) now my stand is on the edge of the woods where I can keep an eye on the "pond" and in the fields. The deer's path is from the east to west crossing through the woods. The pond is the only water source. Now my problems are : 1. There are several wooded areas I have to pass by in order to get to my stand. EVERYTIME I spook some out of the same woods. There is no way to go around this woods either. 2. Then if I manage to get past this woods, I have to deal with the fact that I am making all kinds of noise walking through the beans. There no way around this either. And I can do 1 of 3 things. I can take the long way around to my stand which I don't think is good b/c early in the morning deer are in the fields feeding. I would be in the fields 99% of the time, again making more noise. 2. I can spook the deer and make more noise and just go straight to my stand but if I manage that then what should I do about the water hole by my stand. I certainly don't want them to be drinking right by my stand and I walking up on them. 3. I can go another long route which........uh that route is shot to ****. Won't never work. So...any hunting experts have any idea what I should do. I must say that sunrise here in West TN is aroun 5:00, I get in the woods around 4. Just for the fact that I want everything that I spooked to have enough time to calm back down.
