Posted this in the Bowhunting forum but that place has so much action stuff gets burried to easy, so you guys give me your scoop on it!

Sorry if this ends up long but hope you guys can help! I need some advise on this property. I have never hunted thick stuff or a swamp for that matter, all my hunting has been on the edge of a woods by a field and walk in out with no problems. I posted some pics below of what it looks like along with an aerial photo of it marked up with what I know. The front half is all swamp with some sign but not much. The "swamp pic" is were the main trail starts and goes around the little ponds and then to the left over to the ditch and out to a tree line. This is thirty five acres and I can only hunt from the RR tracks to the ditch and then all the way to the bottom where it ends in another field. Over on the "ditch pic" is where the main trail comes in and starts. But you can not tell in the pic but on the other side of that ditch pic is thick stuff, like a high wall of thorns and briar's, the only way I went in was hunched up and made all kinds of noise on the deer trail. The swamp pic is kinda clear, but no good trees to set up a stand in and plus its all wet and I get wet or start to sink in when I try to walk in it! I set up a ground blind by the RR tracks and used a machete to make a path from the RR tracks to the blind. This whole area is just thick and impossible to get into with out sounding like a freight train coming in and I know the deer would hear me.

My main question is I want to hunt were the main trail pic is. The pic does not do it justice, but on the other side of that ditch is a trial that looks like a highway a foot wide and solid tracks, rubs every were. Have any of you guys used a tripod stand and does it work setting out in the open high up? I was thinking about setting up one or a ground blind but to do it I would have to cut a trail into the thick stuff so I can get in with out a lot of noise. If I do cut a trail in the thick stuff will deer see it and think somethings up and stay away for a while? Also if I cut a trail and set up a ground blind in the thick stuff would this be a mistake since it is to late in the season? I did not find this property until a week or so ago so I may be to late to do to much this year. Any advise is appreciated, thanks!
