Default HELP with entering hunting area

I am writing to see if i can get some other view points on how to get in and out of my hunting property in upper central, PA.

Here is the situtation, i have access to hunting property behind my fathers friends house in PA. Now i bow as well as gun hunt this property and it is set up with two big woods lots and a large field splitting them right down the middle. AS you are looking at the property i am allowed access to the wood lot on the right hand side. THE PROBLEM is that in the fall (oct/Nov) the wind consistently blows at least 90% of the time from left to right or directly across the field into the big wood lot i have access to.

This means that when entering the woods the wind is always at your back blowing into the area i plan to hunt. Aside from the deer that come out of the other wood lot and cross the field into mine i am always having deer coming from the downwind side or getting to my down wind side as they are passing my stand inthe woods. Frustrating to say the least.

This is the only access i have, i wear scent lok, use scent away sprays, bag my close and try to get in early and stay all day, climb at least 20-25 feetso as not to leave too many trails in and out of the woods.

Other than this what other possibilities do i have???

Any advice would help.
