depends on if we are talking going in the morning in the dark or afternoon when it is light out.
In the morning the deer may be in the field feeding so I wouldn't go walking across it.
Going in later in the day for an afternoon hunt, the deer will be in the woods so I would stay as far away from the woods as possible.

Morning, go thru the woods if you can
Afternoon go thru the field being as careful as you can not to be real visible
