defininetly do when its light out. even when its dark i still try to be silent..gota work on that..usually im fumbling around and making a little too much noise..my goal for this year is to sneak in alot better then the passed. theres no excuse for it i know my areas like the back of my hand..i just rush and hurry even though im always atleast a half hour early. opening day im usually nearly 2 hrs early. opening day of bow season im camping in my tree! im too excited lol. but when im going in midday i almost still hunt my way to my spot. ive never done much good deer hunting. but when im hunting other game i always see deer when im sneaking around. itll pay off one day!
