Well, it seems that your between a rock and a hard place. I would have to say when your walking to your stand, take 6-10 steps and pause for 3-5 seconds, take 6-10 more steps and pause again for 3-5 seconds until you get to your stand. This will help break up your sound, also get to your stand eariler, as much as 1.5 hrs before sunlight will help the woods calm after your treck to your stand. Good luck and let me know how you fair!
