RE: Will I get busted?
Even if you walk in from downwind, some deer will bust you just by seeing you approach. If they are used to having farmers drivepickups or tractors in the fields, maybe you could have someone drive you to the edge of the thicket. If you quickly get out and into the brush, it shouldn't freak them out. However you decide to go in there, I would try to do it pretty early before they're all bedded in there.
