Entry and exit routes to your stand
If you had to walk through an open field (surrounded by woods) to get to your stand would you?
a: walk through the middle of the field far away from the woodline so you don't take the chance of spooking deer that may be bedded just inside the woods. Knowing you're standing out like a sore thumb.
b: walk along the edge of the woods to camoflauge yourself better so deer don't see you walking through the middle of the field. Knowing you're taking a chance at spooking deer on your way to your stand.
(assume the wind has no bearing on either)
