I have the exact same problem where i hunt. I'm not going to be hunting that stand that i have to cross the field until the evening, because if you push a big one goingin the morning. there is a good chance your not going to see him in the evening to get a shot.iknow where i hunt a lot of times the deer are out in the fields in the morningwhenwe get there.i'm not sure how it is where you hunt but that's what i do.
